Fees and Costs for International Learners

Galway Cultural Institute is committed to transparency in relation to all fees and costs associated with studying English language programmes in Ireland and we strive to provide clear information on tuition fees and additional costs associated with enrolling onto an English language course to support informed decision-making on student's part.

Tuition fees vary depending on the programme type, course duration and intensity. Current tuition fees and start dates are published in GCI’s official price list, which is available for download below.

In addition to tuition fees, learners may be required to budget for additional costs. These may include registration or administration fees, course materials or textbooks, examination fees where applicable, medical insurance for non-EU learners, accommodation costs and general living expenses. Where accommodation is arranged or facilitated by GCI, costs are also provided. Learners are advised that accommodation availability may vary depending on season and demand.

GCI provides clear information on accepted payment methods, payment schedules and refund conditions prior to booking. Refunds are processed in accordance with GCI’s published Terms and Conditions.

All fees are quoted in Euro and are accurate at the time of publication (Last updated: December 2025)

We have compiled below some useful marketing material for partners, ambassadors and prospective students of Galway Business and English School. Please feel free to download our brochure and price list below.
