Entry Requirements
Irish leaving certificate requirements
H2H3H3H3H3H3 + if not offered at Higher Level then Ordinary Level grade O3 in Mathematics
For applicants offering Irish Leaving Certificate, please note that performance at Junior Certificate is taken into account. The initial Junior Certificate profile to qualify to be made an offer is 4A/4 Distinctions and 2B/2 Higher Merit grades. Please note that this changes from year to year depending on the demand for places. The Selector also checks that any specific entry requirements in terms of Leaving Certificate subjects can be satisfied. The final threshold is not usually determined until late in the admissions cycle, so there may be a delay in processing applicants who do not meet the initial threshold.
Further information
For courses starting in 2025 (and for deferred applications), your application should be with us at UCAS by one of these dates – depending on what courses you apply for. If your completed application – including all your personal details and your academic reference – is submitted by the deadline, it is guaranteed to be considered.
If you're applying through your school/college, please check their deadline, and follow this to get your application in on time. This gives them enough time to read your application, check you've entered your qualifications correctly, write and attach your reference, and submit your application to us.

Missed deadline?
If you don’t meet the main application deadline, you can still apply for many courses.
We recommend you ask the universities whether they have vacancies first – especially for courses with a 15 October deadline, as it’s unusual for them to consider late applications because their courses are really competitive.
