Entry requirements for Irish students

• Constructor University does not publish a specific Irish rule. Under German recognition rules (KMK/ZAB), the Leaving Certificate gives direct university entry only with the right subject/level mix: six subjects, two at Higher Level H5 or better, the other four at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For a science course like this you also need Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. Confirm with admissions.
• The SAT and ACT are not needed to apply. But the university says that if you are admitted and your school qualification does not give direct entry to a German university, you may need to sit a standardised test before enrolling. You apply with ID, transcripts, CV, proof of English, a motivation statement and a recommendation letter.
• English: you are exempt if you are a native English speaker or were taught entirely in English for at least six years, so Irish-schooled students should normally qualify. Otherwise IELTS 6.5 or Duolingo 110 is accepted, and TOEFL iBT minimums are in the university’s table. Confirm with admissions that your Irish schooling counts for the exemption.

Costs

• The programme page lists tuition of EUR 11,925 per semester (about EUR 23,850 a year), plus a one-off enrolment fee of EUR 640 for EU students. The page does not say which academic year this covers. The university’s 2026/27 bachelor cost sheet gives EUR 10,000 per semester (EUR 20,000 a year), so the programme-page figure may be the newer rate; confirm with admissions. Other costs per semester on the 2026/27 cost sheet: university fee EUR 95, broadcasting fee EUR 28, shared room EUR 1,890 and meal plan EUR 2,500, plus a refundable EUR 1,000 housing deposit and a semester transport ticket. Scholarships and financial aid can reduce tuition a lot. No application fee is mentioned.
