Normally not more than €1000 per year (years 1, 2 and 3) for materials and tools. You may have an opportunity to take part in extended field trips or international visits (not compulsory).
Your final year exhibition is your professional showcase. We advise you to budget for not less than €1000.
It is extremely useful to have a good quality digital camera, portable hard drive and laptop. We recommend you don’t purchase these in advance, but seek advice from your tutors.
