Entry requirements for Irish students

• MRU accepts the Leaving Certificate (Established) or the LCVP. Its country-specific page sets a minimum of two Higher Level subjects plus four further passes, but the grade wording is garbled (for post-2017 results it reads ‘2 HD1 and 4 OD3/HE’). Ask admissions to confirm the exact grades. MRU’s admissions page also requires an average of at least 60% of the maximum possible grade.
• You need to upload a motivation letter with a short introduction, a personal SWOT analysis and your expectations of the programme. The course page does not mention an entrance exam, but MRU’s admissions page says it may ask for an English or Maths test, the Online Mathematics Placement Test (OMPT) or a motivation interview.
• English at B2 level is required, shown by IELTS (5.5-6.5), TOEFL iBT (72-94), PTE (59-75) or Duolingo (100-125), for example. MRU waives the certificate if you are a native speaker, if you were educated entirely in English, or if you pass its free online English test. Irish applicants should confirm with admissions that the exemption applies to them.

Costs

The course page lists a one-off, non-refundable EUR 100 application fee. MRU’s admissions page gives EUR 50 for EU citizens, so check which one applies to you.
