Entry requirements for Irish students

• KTU does not publish a specific rule for the Leaving Certificate. It asks for a school-leaving certificate awarded no more than 3 years before you apply, with an average above 60% in each entry subject. Ask KTU admissions how Leaving Cert H and O grades are converted.
• The admission score is 40% Mathematics, 40% a science or technology subject (Chemistry, Physics, Biology, IT, Geography or Engineering Technologies) and 20% English, all based on final exam results. Leaving Cert Maths and a science subject such as Physics therefore matter most.
• English: applicants whose native language is not English need IELTS 5.5, TOEFL iBT 75 or CEFR B2 (tests must be less than two years old). Applicants whose previous studies were entirely in English are exempt, and KTU also offers a free online English test. Irish applicants should confirm with KTU that their Leaving Cert is accepted as proof of English.

Costs

• EUR 4,201 per year for 2026/27 (EUR 70.02 per credit, 60 credits a year). KTU publishes one fee for all international applicants, so EU students pay the same rate as non-EU students. The 2027/28 fee was not yet published when checked. The first year’s fee must be paid before you arrive in Lithuania. Later years can be paid in instalments, one per semester. There is also an application fee, which is non-refundable once you register. KTU offers partial tuition waivers and other scholarships, and EU/EEA citizens can also compete for state-funded places.
