Entry requirements for Irish students

• For school qualifications from outside Finland, LUT asks for an upper secondary qualification plus either an English language test or a SAT/OMPT result. A completed Leaving Certificate that meets Irish university entry rules should count as an upper secondary qualification. LUT sets no minimum Leaving Cert grades, subjects or Higher/Ordinary levels, and CAO points are not converted. Confirm with LUT admissions.
• Rolling admission is non-competitive: if you meet all the requirements you are admitted while places remain. LUT’s technology rolling criteria describe SAT, OMPT and ‘mathematics curriculum’ routes. Check the minimum scores and whether Leaving Cert maths is accepted.
• English: LUT’s criteria set out when an English test is required and when it is not. Confirm with LUT whether Irish schooling or Leaving Cert English is accepted instead of IELTS or TOEFL.
