Entry requirements for Irish students

• Hungary asks for a completed upper-secondary school-leaving qualification. The Leaving Certificate normally meets this, but each university decides. The University of Pécs publishes no Leaving Cert conversion. It scores your school grades as a percentage average (GPA), so confirm with the faculty how your H and O grades will be converted.
• You are scored out of 100 points: GPA up to 40 (0 points below 65%, 10 points from 65%, 20 points from 75%, 40 points from 95%), a motivation letter up to 20, and the Skype interview up to 40. You need at least 60 points, not counting bonus points, and more than zero on each of the three parts. That means your grade average must be at least 65%. A generic or AI-written motivation letter scores zero. The page sets no specific maths or physics requirement.
• The interview tests your English: communicative competence, vocabulary, accuracy and pronunciation. A C1 English certificate is not required but earns 5 bonus points, and reference letters earn another 5. The page does not say whether Leaving Cert English counts as proof, so check with admissions.

Costs
