Entry requirements for Irish students

• Finland accepts a completed Leaving Certificate that gives you 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. TAMK selects in two ways. Rolling admission (15 Nov 2026 – 28 Feb 2027) uses grades from previous education, or SAT scores plus an interview. The January joint application uses the International UAS Exam or SAT scores. Leaving Cert results only come out in August, so ask TAMK admissions whether predicted or in-progress results can be used for rolling admission. If they cannot, the joint application with the UAS Exam is the usual route. The course builds on maths, chemistry and physics, so Leaving Cert maths and a science subject are a strong background, although no subject is formally required.
• English: you must prove your English (International UAS Exam rules accept a recognised language test or previous studies). TAMK asks for language proficiency documents with the application by 21 January 2027. The Leaving Cert certificate does not say it was taught in English, so ask your school for a letter confirming this, or take IELTS or TOEFL. Gaelscoil students should plan on a test.
