Entry requirements for Irish students

• Hungary asks for a completed upper-secondary qualification, and the University of Pécs does not publish how it treats the Leaving Certificate. Your school results are scored as a percentage GPA: 65% or above earns 10 points, 75% earns 20, 85% earns 30 and 95% or above earns 40. The university does not say how H1-H8 grades convert to these percentages, so confirm with admissions.
• Admission is on points, and you need at least 60 out of 100, with some points in every main part. The parts are GPA (up to 40), motivation letter (up to 20) and an online interview in English (up to 40). A C1 English certificate or reference letters can each add 5 bonus points. There is no written entrance exam listed, but the course involves a lot of maths.
• English: the university’s language rules exempt applicants who finished secondary school in English in Ireland from an English test certificate. However, the engineering faculty may still test your English through an online test, an interview or both.

Costs

• The university lists tuition of USD 3,400 per semester (USD 6,800 a year). That is roughly €5,800 a year, but the euro cost depends on the exchange rate. The programme page gives no separate EU rate. There is also a USD 150 application fee. The programme page does not say whether it can be refunded, so check the university’s admission rules. You pay tuition after conditional acceptance to receive the Letter of Admission.
