Entry requirements for Irish students

• Finnish universities accept a foreign school-leaving qualification if it gives eligibility for higher education in the country where it was awarded, so a completed Leaving Certificate that meets Irish college entry rules should count. No Finnish body sets minimum Leaving Cert grades, subjects or Higher/Ordinary levels, and CAO points are not converted. LUT publishes no Ireland-specific rules on the programme page, so confirm with LUT admissions.
• For school qualifications completed outside Finland, LUT requires your upper secondary qualification plus a language test or a SAT/OMPT result. If you meet all the requirements you are admitted without competition while places remain. Check LUT’s technology rolling-admission criteria page for the exact score thresholds.
• English: proof of English is part of the requirement. The programme page does not say whether Leaving Cert English or schooling in English in Ireland is accepted instead of a test, so confirm this with LUT before booking IELTS/TOEFL.
