Entry requirements for Irish students

• VIA accepts an upper secondary school leaving certificate such as the Leaving Certificate, but your subjects must meet Danish level requirements. VIA does not publish an Irish-specific conversion and refers applicants to the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science (ufsn.dk) recognition guide. In practice you should expect to need Higher Level for a subject to count at Danish A or B level; confirm how your subjects will be assessed with VIA admissions before applying.
• Specific requirements: Mathematics equivalent to Danish B level (at least 250 teaching hours) and English equivalent to Danish A level (at least 335 teaching hours), taken in the last three years of upper secondary school, with a grade average of at least 2.0 on the Danish scale. Plan on Higher Level Maths and Higher Level English.
• English must be documented at Danish A level following VIA’s English proficiency requirements page. We could not confirm whether Leaving Cert English at a particular grade is accepted instead of IELTS or TOEFL, so check with VIA.
