  • Check the programme page for any specific entry requirements written as Swedish courses; University Admissions decides whether your Leaving Cert subjects match them.
  • English: Malmö University requires English 6, and a Leaving Cert English result of Ordinary Level grade 6 (O6, or D) or better meets it.
