Entry requirements for Irish students

• SRH asks for a higher education entrance qualification (Abitur or equivalent). Under German rules the Leaving Certificate gives direct entry only with six subjects, 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 computer science (the maths/science area) German rules also expect Higher Level Maths at H5 and a Higher Level science at H5. SRH publishes nothing specific to Ireland, so confirm with its admissions team before applying. LCA and LCVP are not accepted.
• After your documents are checked you are invited to a personal admissions interview before you get a study contract.
• Proof of English is required. SRH’s FAQ mentions TOEFL, IELTS or comparable certificates, and applicants without one can sit the SRH English Proficiency Certificate test. SRH does not say whether Leaving Cert English is accepted, so ask admissions.
