About the course

Entry requirements for Irish students

• UE asks for a general higher education entrance qualification (or one for universities of applied sciences). Under German recognition rules the Leaving Certificate gives direct entry only with six subjects: at least two at Higher Level with H5 or better, the rest at O6/H6 or better, including two languages and Maths at O5/H6 or better. LCA and LCVP are not accepted. For business and economics subjects German rules also require Higher Level Maths at H5; UE publishes nothing Ireland-specific, so confirm with admissions.
• Documents: CV, passport or ID copy, school-leaving results and transcript, and a motivation letter of at least 500 words. UE says the admission procedure is ‘as a rule’ an entrance test after you apply.
• English: UE asks for an English certificate (e.g. IELTS Academic 5.5, TOEFL iBT 60, PTE Academic 56, Cambridge CAE 162 or FCE 160, Duolingo 100). No exemption for Leaving Cert English is published, so ask admissions before paying for a test.
