Entry requirements for Irish students

• The university does not publish anything specific about the Irish Leaving Certificate. Like other Hungarian universities, it asks for a completed secondary school-leaving certificate and your results, and it tests you itself instead of converting CAO points. Check with admission@nje.hu that it will accept the Leaving Cert.
• Maths: you must show enough mathematics in an online test during admission, set at the level of second-level school maths. An online interview about your motivation and your English is also part of the process.
• English: you need B2 level or higher, and the university checks this through its own online test and interview. It does not list IELTS or TOEFL scores, and it does not say whether Leaving Cert English counts on its own.
