Most non-native English speakers must prove their proficiency to study in Ireland. Universities typically accept tests like IELTS, TOEFL, or Cambridge English exams. Required scores vary by institution and program, with IELTS often demanding 6.0–6.5 for undergraduates and 6.5–7.0 for postgraduates.
Exceptions apply if you’ve previously studied in English or are from an English-speaking country. Always check your chosen university’s specific requirements. Some institutions may offer pre-sessional courses if your score falls slightly below the threshold. Confirm test validity periods, as results older than two years are usually not accepted.
