Entry requirements for Irish students

• EUBA publishes no Leaving Cert grade or subject rules. You need complete secondary education and must pass its entrance exam. To enrol, your Leaving Cert must be formally recognised by a Slovak Regional Office of School Administration (in the region where you live or where the university is). You can apply while this is under way, but you must hand in the recognition by enrolment day. The Slovak authorities say recognition can take up to two months, so start as soon as you have your results.
• Online entrance exam in the last week of March 2027, marked automatically by computer. It has an aptitude test (25 questions on economics, international economic relations, law, political science and financial literacy at secondary-school level, plus logical thinking and basic maths) and an English test (25 questions on everyday vocabulary and grammar). The maximum is 200 points in total. You must reach at least the 60th percentile in each test. No waivers are granted, and you can sit the exam only once a year.
• No external English certificate is needed, because EUBA tests English in its own entrance exam. Leaving Cert English does not exempt you from the test, as EUBA grants no waivers.
