Entry requirements for Irish students

• JYU accepts upper secondary education completed outside Finland that gives eligibility for bachelor’s-level studies in the country where it was awarded, so a completed Leaving Certificate meeting Irish entry rules should make you eligible. No minimum H or O grades are published and CAO points are not converted; places are awarded through JYU’s own test and interview. Confirm with JYU admissions.
• Selection is by an admission test (10-11 February 2027) followed by an interview (17-24 March 2027). JYU expects a solid understanding of secondary-level maths, so Higher Level Maths is advisable, although no level is formally required.
• Every applicant, including native English speakers, must prove their English skills, and JYU grants no waivers. Check JYU’s ‘How to prove your English skills’ guidance to see whether English-medium schooling in Ireland is accepted; if not, take IELTS or TOEFL.
