Students living away from home could face up to €14,000 in costs for the upcoming academic year.
Increasing rents and food prices are leading to a likely rise in living costs, according to the Technological University Dublin Student Cost of Living Guide.
Students moving to Dublin will need €1,539 a month, or €13,827 for the year.
That's gone up from just over €12,000 needed for the 2019-2020 academic year.
President of the Union of Students in Ireland, Clare Austick, has broken down where the increased living costs are coming from.
"The reported increase in attending college this year is a breakdown of the extortionate rent that students have to pay, the student contribution charge which is €3,000, and also the cost of living coupled with the material cost, and the additional cost of materials that students may need when attending college this year."
