Entry requirements for Irish students

• The university assesses the Irish Leaving Certificate individually and does not publish a fixed Irish requirement. Contact admissions to confirm. Recognition of foreign secondary education is governed by Masaryk University Directive No. 2/2019, and the faculty gives detailed instructions to applicants after they pass the entrance exam.
• Written entrance exam in Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The faculty publishes syllabi and 2022 sample tests.
• The programme is taught in English, but the university does not publish a specific English test requirement. No interview is mentioned.

Working in Ireland afterwards

A dental degree from an EU member state that is listed in the EU Professional Qualifications Directive (2005/36/EC, as amended) can be recognised automatically by the Dental Council of Ireland. To get this, you provide a certificate from your home country’s competent authority confirming the degree meets the Directive’s minimum training conditions, plus proof of English-language proficiency. EU dental degrees that do not qualify for automatic recognition may instead be assessed under the Directive.
