Entry requirements for Irish students

• The university does not publish a specific Irish Leaving Certificate grade requirement. It looks at Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Mathematics: one must have been studied at advanced level (at least 2 school years) and another at basic level (at least 1 school year), and your final grades in two of these required subjects must be passing grades. Your certificate must not contain any failing grade. Admissions staff enter your grades in the required subjects and calculate an average for ranking. Irish students applying before their results are out must send a stamped, signed statement from their school showing predicted grades. Contact admissions to confirm how Higher and Ordinary Level are treated.
• You do not sit the entrance exam if your secondary school certificate comes from an EU, OECD or EFTA country, so Irish applicants are ranked on grades. The exam, a 10-minute online Biology and Chemistry test, is only for other applicants. The university does not mention an interview.
• English: you need proof at B2 level or above, for example IELTS 5.5 to 6.5, TOEFL iBT 72 or Cambridge FCE. A secondary diploma from an EU school taught entirely in English is also on the accepted list. School English grades and being a native speaker do not count on their own. Ask admissions whether they accept your Leaving Certificate as proof.

Working in Ireland afterwards

A dental degree from an EU member state that is listed in the EU Professional Qualifications Directive (2005/36/EC, as amended) can be recognised automatically by the Dental Council of Ireland. To get this, you provide a certificate from your home country’s competent authority confirming the degree meets the Directive’s minimum training conditions, plus proof of English-language proficiency. EU dental degrees that do not qualify for automatic recognition may instead be assessed under the Directive.

Costs

• EUR 14,000 a year in Years 1 to 4 and EUR 13,000 in Year 5 (2026/27 fee list), paid in two instalments due by 1 October and 1 February. There is also a non-refundable EUR 85 application fee and a non-refundable EUR 600 fee for accepted candidates, which covers online pre-courses in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. The fee list gives no reduced rate for EU students, so expect to pay the full tuition.
