Entry requirements for Irish students

  • UE publishes nothing specific on the Irish Leaving Certificate. Under German rules (KMK/ZAB), the Leaving Cert gives direct university entry only with six subjects: at least two at Higher Level at H5 or better, the other four at H6/O6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. Some subject areas also need Higher Level Maths at H5. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. Confirm with UE admissions how they assess your Leaving Cert for this course.
  • UE applies no Numerus Clausus (grade cut-off). You apply with your school certificate and transcript, a CV, ID and a motivation letter of at least 500 words, and UE says an admission test is mandatory for most applicants.
  • English: UE lists minimum scores such as IELTS Academic 5.5, TOEFL iBT 60 or Duolingo 100. It publishes no specific exemption for Leaving Cert English, so ask admissions whether it is accepted or whether you need a test.

Costs

  • UE advertises bachelor’s tuition ‘from €6,662 per year’ as a current saving offer (conditions apply), so the standard fee may be higher. One-off fees on UE’s fees page: a €490 registration fee and a €1,500 reservation fee for EU citizens (students from Germany, Austria and Switzerland are exempt). No application fee is listed. As a private university, UE charges tuition, unlike German public universities.
This is a private university with tuition from €6,662 a year (a promotional rate) plus one-off fees. A German applied psychology bachelor’s does not on its own lead to licensure as a psychotherapist, so check what the degree qualifies you for before committing.
