IoTs have traditionally had much smaller numbers of international students than the universities. Many are seeking to expand their international numbers taking into account issues such as capacity strategic recruitment programmes etc. In setting their international recruitment strategies each IoT exercises some degree of flexibility in setting these non-fee rates. Presently these fees can range from approximately €7,000 to €12,000.
