Q. What are the facilities like?
It may come as a surprise to many that Griffith College here in Dublin offers a seven-acre campus. The size of our campus and the engagement of the students offers us the ability to have a real campus atmosphere as a private institution. In addition, we have two accommodation blocks on campus which can hold over 650 students. The Student Union is also a popular place among students, as the building holds a games room, student kitchen and function room. They run numerous clubs, societies, and events for students throughout the academic year. It’s a really exciting and multicultural vibe on campus which is only a stone's throw away from Dublin’s party scene on Harcourt Street. We are also surrounded by some really cool cafes and bars where one can purchase the finest coffee and craft beers available.

Q. Is Griffith College a University?
Griffith College is not a university, but it is the second largest private third level college in the country. Universities are public institutions and have been granted delegated authority to create their own awards. They are allowed to call themselves University by law and there are only eight in Ireland. Universities and Institutes of Technology receive funding from the government towards their running. Private institutions are self-funded and as such students attending must pay tuition fees.
Q. Do you accept the SUSI grant?
Unfortunately, no, as a private institution students attending Griffith College are not entitled to the SUSI grant. Students must pay tuition fees. We have a payment plan which helps students pay for their fees monthly. Students are also entitled to claim up to 20% tax back on the tuition fees paid.
