Fees

Welcome to the Student Fees teams at Griffith College.
We are here to assist you with any fee-related queries you may have. It is the role of the Fees team to effectively communicate with all learners regarding their fees. We will endeavour to answer all queries in a timely and efficient manner.

Griffith College is an independent College and as such, tuition fees apply on most of our programmes.

Please note that the tuition fees quoted represent tuition fees for stage 1 of the programme only.

Please note that for QQI-accredited courses, there is an additional QQI Award Fee applied in the final year of study. The fees are as follows:
