Entry requirements for Irish students

• VMU does not publish a separate Leaving Certificate rule. Its competitive score is 70% the average of all the subjects on your school-leaving certificate and 30% a motivation letter and/or admission interview. International applicants need a minimum overall average of 60%. Ask VMU admissions how it converts Leaving Cert grades (H1-H8, O1-O8).
• All applicants do an online motivational interview, and VMU may also ask you to take a maths assessment test.
• English: you need B2 level. VMU accepts, for example, IELTS 5.5-6.5, TOEFL iBT 87-109, Cambridge FCE 161-180 or Duolingo 100-125. Native speakers and applicants educated in English are exempt if they send an official document from their school. Ask VMU to confirm that a letter from an Irish school is enough.
