Entry requirements for Irish students

• SRH asks for a general higher education (or university of applied sciences) entrance qualification and publishes nothing specific on the Irish Leaving Certificate. Under German rules (KMK/anabin) the Leaving Cert gives direct entry only with six general subjects: at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better and the other four at O6/H6 or better. The six must include two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. Business and economics courses also need Higher Level Maths at H5. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Confirm with SRH admissions how they will assess your Leaving Cert.
• After your documents are reviewed, SRH invites you to an admission interview. No German is required because the course is taught in English.
• English: the programme asks for proof of English without giving a level. The SRH FAQ refers to TOEFL, IELTS or comparable certificates. Ask admissions whether Leaving Cert English is accepted as proof.
