Why Choose Griffith College - Dublin?

1. Fees Are Fixed and Scholarships Are Automatic

Every undergraduate programme is €13,500 a year regardless of subject. Every non-EU student gets an automatic bursary of €1,500 to €3,000 from day one, and merit scholarships of up to €2,000 sit on top of that for students with strong academic records.

2. 89% Employed Within Two Months of Graduating

That figure covers Dublin graduates from the class of 2024 and includes employment and further study combined. Cork results back it up with 76% of graduates in field-relevant roles within the same period. Griffith's compact campus means careers support is genuinely personal rather than a generic service.

3. A Computing Conversion Route That Works

Any graduate from any discipline can enter the two-year Higher Diploma plus MSc Computing pathway and reach NFQ Level 9 for a net cost of around €22,650. That includes €11,500 in structured bursaries spread across both years, making it substantially cheaper than a standalone master's at most Dublin universities.

4. Four Pharma Masters Co-Delivered Inside Industry

Nine of the world's ten biggest pharma companies operate in Ireland, and Griffith's Innopharma Labs partnership puts students inside real regulatory environments from the start. The four specialist MSc programmes cover pharmaceutical business, medical devices, digital transformation and quality systems, all at €17,500 a year.

5. Two Intakes, Three Cities

The BA in Business runs in Dublin, Cork and Limerick with September and February starts. Most postgraduate programmes follow the same two-intake model. A delayed visa or a change in plans means February rather than a full year away.

I received my visa within just 3 days for the University of Wales Trinity Saint David, London campus. The entire process was smooth and stress-free, and I truly appreciate the support I received from my counsellor, Zarin Tarannum Nirjon. She was extremely helpful, professional, and responsive throughout the journey, guiding me clearly at every step. Her dedication and support made a huge difference, and I’m very grateful for her assistance. I would highly recommend her to anyone planning to study abroad.

I just want to say a big thank you to PFEC for supporting me throughout this whole process. From applications to documents to the visa, they guided me at every step and were always there whenever I needed help. I also want to thank my agent foysal bhai. He helped me unconditionally whenever I needed him.

I’m really grateful for their support, and I would definitely recommend PFEC to anyone planning to study in Australia.

I chose PFEC Global to guide me through my Australian student visa process for the University of Wollongong, and I’m very glad I did. My counselor, Al Faysal Bhaiya, was a standout—very supportive mentor and easy to reach whenever I had questions or needed reassurance. He helped me stay organized, including understand each step clearly, organising all Supporting documents and giving clear cut direction to the easily accessible path.
What impressed me most was the combination of professional guidance with personal care. PFEC didn’t just handle paperwork; they mentored me, explained what to expect, and followed up promptly. That level of attention made the whole journey feel manageable rather than stressful.. Wishing very good fortune for PFEC Global
