Entry requirements for Irish students

• The University of Miskolc asks for a secondary school leaving certificate, and publishes no specific Leaving Certificate grade or points rule. In Hungary, each university decides whether to accept the Leaving Cert, and there is no national points conversion for English-taught degrees. Confirm with admissions (apply@uni-miskolc.hu) that your Leaving Cert is accepted.
• You need secondary-school maths and physics. Leaving Cert Maths and Physics are the relevant subjects, but no minimum grade or level is published. Admission is decided by a free online oral interview. It tests your motivation and English and may include basic maths or technical questions.
• English: you need at least B2 (the programme page says IELTS 6.0 or equivalent), or an official document confirming that your previous studies were taught in English. The university does not say whether Leaving Cert English counts, so ask admissions before you apply.
