Entry requirements for Irish students

• Jönköping University accepts the Leaving Certificate for general entry. Final results are needed: the university does not accept predicted grades, and Irish final-year students are not eligible for conditional admission. Because Leaving Cert results come out in late August, after both application deadlines, in practice you apply in the year after your Leaving Cert (for example after a gap year).
• Specific requirements are Mathematics 2a, 2b or 2c and English 6. The university’s Ireland table does not list Mathematics 2 but says Ordinary Level Maths meets the higher Mathematics 3b, so Ordinary Level Maths should be enough; confirm with admissions. No portfolio is mentioned on the programme page.
• English: the Ireland table says Leaving Cert English at Ordinary Level meets English 6, so no separate English test is needed.
