Entry requirements for Irish students

• LUT’s international rolling admission is for applicants who have completed, or are close to completing, their school qualification outside Finland. It is non-competitive: you are admitted if you meet the criteria and places remain. LUT publishes no minimum Leaving Cert grades, subjects or Higher/Ordinary levels on the programme page, and CAO points are not used. Under Finnish rules, a completed Leaving Certificate that gives university entry in Ireland should count; confirm with LUT admissions.
• International applicants need the upper secondary certificate plus either an English language test or an SAT or LUT’s OMPT test. Minimum scores and any exemption for schooling in English in Ireland are on LUT’s business admission criteria page. Confirm these before you apply.
• Do not assume Leaving Cert English is accepted as proof of English. Plan for an IELTS/TOEFL-type test or the SAT unless LUT confirms an exemption.
