Entry requirements for Irish students

  • IMC Krems asks for an Austrian school-leaving certificate or an equivalent qualification; foreign certificates are checked for equivalence and supplementary exams may be required. IMC publishes no specific rule for the Irish Leaving Certificate (for example number of Higher Level subjects or grades), so confirm with IMC admissions before applying.
  • No entrance test: applicants submit a statement of motivation and an essay in the online application, then have an interview in English with the programme director (online via Microsoft Teams or in person).
  • English is assessed at the interview, so no separate English certificate is required.
