Entry requirements for Irish students

• Danish institutions accept the Irish Leaving Certificate as an EU school-leaving qualification, but each programme sets specific requirements using Danish subject levels (A, B or C), and the institution decides how Leaving Cert subjects and levels map to these. UCL does not publish a Leaving Cert mapping on the programme page, so confirm with UCL admissions. Do not assume Ordinary Level subjects will be enough.
• Programme requirements: Mathematics or Business Economics at Danish C level or equivalent, and English passed at Danish B level or equivalent with a minimum average of 3.0 on the Danish grading scale. A motivational letter is also required.
• English: UCL asks for proof of an independent English language test; native English speakers are exempt, and for European applicants all listed tests are accepted. Irish applicants who are native English speakers should confirm with UCL that the exemption applies to them and whether Leaving Cert English is accepted as proof.
