Entry requirements for Irish students

• Under German recognition rules (KMK/ZAB), the Leaving Cert gives direct university entry only with the right subjects: six subjects, at least two at Higher Level H5 or better, the rest at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For computing/engineering/science you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. Constructor publishes no Leaving Cert-specific rule, but says SAT/ACT scores may be required for enrolment if you lack a German university entrance qualification, so confirm with admissions how your Leaving Cert is assessed.
• Applications are reviewed on school transcripts, CV and a motivation statement; SAT/ACT and a recommendation letter are optional for admission. No entrance test or interview is listed.
• English: native speakers and applicants taught exclusively in English for at least 6 years are exempt, which normally covers Irish school-leavers. Otherwise IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 90 or Duolingo 110 (among others) are accepted.
