Entry requirements for Irish students

• Macromedia asks for a recognised school-leaving certificate that gives entry to higher education. For certificates from outside Bavaria it asks for official equivalency approval. It publishes no specific Leaving Cert rule, so German rules apply: six subjects, at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better, the other four at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. For business courses, German rules also ask for Higher Level Maths at H5. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Confirm with admissions (international@macromedia.de) before you apply.
• No numerus clausus, entrance exam or portfolio. You apply online with your school certificate, a CV, a motivation letter and a copy of your passport or ID card.
• English: the university lists TOEFL iBT 72, IELTS 6.0 or Burlington VTest as accepted proof and mentions no exemption for native speakers. It does not say whether Leaving Cert English is accepted instead, so ask admissions before booking a test.

How to apply

1. Check your Leaving Cert subjectsMake sure your six subjects, levels and grades meet the German entry rules, including Higher Level Maths at H5 for business.
2. Get English proofAsk admissions whether Leaving Cert English is enough. If not, book TOEFL iBT (72), IELTS (6.0) or Burlington VTest in good time.
3. Apply onlineSubmit the Macromedia online application with your Leaving Cert results, CV, motivation letter, passport or ID and English proof. For October 2027, apply by late September 2027 at the latest (2026 cycle pattern); earlier is better.

Costs

• EUR 6,000 per semester (EUR 12,000 a year) plus a one-off registration fee of EUR 699, per Macromedia’s international price list for winter term 2026. No separate EU rate is published and prices are subject to change. Macromedia is a private, state-recognised university, so Germany’s tuition-free rule for public universities does not apply.
