    does anyone know if the SUSI grant could possibly cover the full fees of graduate vetinary medicine in UCD - fees are approx 14k per year
    (provided I'm eligible for the grant)
    I 100% cannot afford fees otherwise 😢

    It used be the case that you could only get a grant for your first degree (and not if you were repeating a year) and for some postgraduate study, as long as you were "moving up" - eg, MSc, PhD, etc. and only for a certain number of years. But you wouldn't receive a grant if you were doing a second degree or a second masters.

    Hiya, I'm currently in grad entry vet at UCD. The fees are 20k a year for the 4 year course (if you have a science degree) then something around 16 k a year for the 5 year grad entry (for non science degree), so works out the same. Unfortunately there is no funding you can get for it. Only option is a co-signed loan with the parents. Grad-entry vet counts as a second primary degree, so it is full fees with no subsidies unfortunately.

    Yeah agree with the previous poster- no grants and banks won't loan without a cosign. I'm qualified many years but definitely think hard before paying that amount- some new grads are starting on 22k so it can take many many years paying it off.
