Entry requirements for Irish students

  • SRH does not publish anything specific about the Irish Leaving Certificate. It asks for a recognised university entrance qualification. Under German rules the Leaving Cert gives direct entry if you have six subjects: at least 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. Arts and design courses need no extra subject. Confirm with SRH admissions.
  • The programme page does not list a portfolio. After you apply you may be invited to an admissions interview; SRH says some applicants record a video instead or get an offer directly.
  • English: TOEFL 80+, IELTS 6.5+, Duolingo 95+, or a Medium of Instruction letter from your school confirming you were taught in English. You can also sit SRH’s own English Proficiency Certificate test. Irish students should ask their school for a Medium of Instruction letter.
