Entry requirements for Irish students

• Constructor University publishes no rules specific to Ireland. Under German rules (KMK/ZAB), the Leaving Cert gives direct university entry only if you have six subjects, at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better and the rest at H6/O6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For computer science (the maths/science/engineering area), you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 or better and a Higher Level science at H5 or better. Confirm with admissions.
• SAT/ACT is not used in the admission decision. If your school leaving certificate does not give direct entry to a German university, the university says you may have to take the SAT or ACT before enrolling, and on-campus testing is available. No entrance exam or interview is listed.
• English: the test can be waived for native speakers, for applicants taught only through English for at least six years, and for anyone with SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing of 600+ or ACT Writing of 9+. Otherwise you need IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo 110 or Cambridge Advanced/Proficiency (grade C or better).
