Entry requirements for Irish students

• AGH accepts school-leaving certificates from EU, OECD and EFTA countries, including Ireland, without a separate NAWA recognition decision. Your Leaving Cert must qualify you for university entry in Ireland. AGH’s Admission Centre converts your grades to a 0–100% scale using the level shown on the certificate (basic or advanced). It does not publish how Higher Level and Ordinary Level (H1–H8, O1–O8) map to these levels, so confirm this with admissions. CAO points do not carry across.
• Mechatronic Engineering ranks you on two subjects. The first is Mathematics, Physics or Computer Science. The second is Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or a foreign language. Scores are out of 1,000 and the minimum is 300. For 2026/27 the cut-off was 500 points in Round 1 and 515 in Round 2. If AGH cannot treat your maths result as advanced level, you can sit the optional AGH maths exam, where points may raise your score and the pass mark is 30%.
• English: AGH lists Ireland among the countries whose school-leaving certificates are exempt from the English language certificate, so an Irish Leaving Cert holder does not need IELTS or TOEFL.

Costs

• EUR 1,800 per semester (EUR 3,600 a year) for 2026/27. EU citizens pay this fee because the programme is taught in English; free study for EU citizens applies only to full-time Polish-taught programmes. One-off recruitment fee: PLN 85, or PLN 100 if you also sit the AGH maths exam. Student ID card: PLN 22.
