The Student Levy / Tobhach na Mac Léinn

It’s Your Money!

All NUI Galway students pay the Student Levy in addition to annual fees. The Student Levy is used to fund a number of student activities such as the Students’ Union; Clubs; Societies; Student Health Unit; Campus Radio; and the CÉIM Peer Learning Programme.

The Levy is required because the University does not provide adequate funding for these services. Other colleges have much better facilities that their students do not have to subsidise, and their students’ union, clubs and societies also receive better funding.

This is something your Students Union is always working on. Last year the Student Levy was reduced from €224 per student to €140 per student which means NUI Galway students are no longer paying the highest levy in the count

The Student Levy is distributed as follows: Students’ Union Societies Clubs Student Health Unit Áras na Mac Léinn Flirt FM Student Project Fund CÉIM
