Entry requirements for Irish students

• Finland accepts a completed Leaving Certificate that gives entry to higher education in Ireland. No Finnish body sets minimum Leaving Cert grades, subjects or Higher/Ordinary levels, and CAO points are not converted. In Centria’s Joint Application, Leaving Cert holders are normally ranked by the online International UAS Exam rather than by school results. Confirm the 2027 selection method for this programme with Centria.
• English: you must provide proof of English, either an internationally recognised language test or previous studies (the accepted documents are listed on uasinfo.fi). Ask your school for a letter confirming that you were taught and assessed in English, because the Leaving Cert certificate does not state this, and check with Centria that it will be accepted. Gaelscoil students should expect to need IELTS or TOEFL.
