Entry requirements for Irish students

• TH Deggendorf asks for a German university entrance qualification or a recognised foreign equivalent. Under German rules the Leaving Cert gives direct entry only if you have six subjects: at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better, the other four at H6/O6 or better, two languages among them, and Maths at O5/H6 or better. Business and economics courses also need Higher Level Maths at H5. Check with the university’s admissions office how it classifies this programme.
• Admission test (aptitude assessment): a 90-minute online test proctored through ProctorU. Your Leaving Cert grade (converted to 0-100 points) and your test score (0-100) count equally. A test score of 50 or less counts as a fail, and you need at least 101 points in total. You can retake once, the following year.
• English at level B2 is required. The university publishes accepted proofs in a separate language-requirements document. Confirm with admissions that Leaving Cert English counts as proof.
