English Language Requirement

At UCD, all teaching is delivered through English, so applicants must demonstrate a high level of English language proficiency to be admitted. The minimum requirements are set by the University Programmes Board and apply to all applicants at every level of study.

Please refer to UCD Minimum English Language Requirements.

If you're following an international curriculum, please see the following links for entry requirements:

In some cases, entry via (opens in a new window)UCD's International Foundation Year is also available for many programmes.

If you are unsure, please contact us for further information.

This page provides information and guidance on entry requirements for international (non-EU/ non-EEA) students only.

Please be advised that your fee assessment status determines how you should apply.

In all cases, UCD applicants who are granted EU fee status will only be admitted through the Central Applications Office ((opens in a new window)CAO) system and in line with CAO policies and procedures and National University of Ireland ((opens in a new window)NUI) matriculation regulations.

If you are eligible for EU fees please contact UCD Registry-Admissions for further advice (www.ucd.ie/askus).

Students with UK citizenship and who meet the residency requirement will continue to be assessed for EU fees in the normal manner and should apply via the Central Applications Office (CAO). All other prospective applicants with UK citizenship who are assessed for non-EU fees should apply direct to UCD. For more detailed information on the EU fee assessment process and the conditions which require a formal assessment to be submitted to UCD Registry, please refer to the EU Fee Assessment webpage.

Specific subjects and grades required for programme are detailed below.
