Entry requirements for Irish students

• Constructor University does not publish a specific Leaving Cert rule. Under German recognition rules (KMK/ZAB), the Leaving Cert gives direct entry to science only with six subjects including two languages and Maths, at least two at Higher Level at H5 or better (the others at O6/H6 or better), plus Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. The university notes that applicants whose school qualification does not give direct university entry in Germany may need SAT/ACT scores to enrol, so confirm with Constructor admissions.
• Applications are assessed on school transcripts from the last 2-3 years, a CV and a motivation statement; SAT/ACT scores are optional for admission. No entrance test or interview is listed. Higher Level Maths and Physics are strongly advisable.
• English: native English speakers, or applicants taught only through English for at least 6 years, are exempt from submitting an English test; Leaving Cert English is not named specifically.
