Entry requirements for Irish students

• Klaipeda University publishes no Ireland-specific Leaving Certificate rule. Its general requirement is completed secondary education with a good average grade (minimum CGPA above 60%). Only final certificates are accepted, not provisional ones. The course page says documents must carry an Apostille, but this does not apply to documents issued in the EU, which would cover an Irish Leaving Cert. Contact admissions to confirm how your Higher and Ordinary Level grades will be converted.
• No entrance test. You add a motivation letter to your application, and you are interviewed by a Studies Office staff member or a university representative. You study a second foreign language (Swedish, Spanish or German) as part of the course.
• English: level B2 is required. Accepted proof is IELTS above 5.5, TOEFL above 75, Duolingo above 110 or PTE above 59. Native English speakers are exempt, but Irish applicants should confirm this with admissions.
