UCD Entry Requirements

McBauer

I was looking at courses on the UCD website and it seems that not all courses require you to have a Leaving Cert pass in a language and/or a science subject. Is this correct? In NUIG I understand that the entry requirement is

Minimum grade HC3 in two subjects and passes in four other subjects at H or O Level in the Leaving Certificate including: Irish, English, another language, Mathematics, a laboratory science subject

Is this not the same for all univerities in Ireland?

From the NUI website:

"For entry to all degrees, English, Irish, and four other subjects in the Leaving Certificate (GCE/GCSE or other acceptable qualification) are required.

A third language must be included among the other subjects for Arts, Human Sciences, Law, Social Science, Commerce, Medicine and Health Sciences and some other degrees.

For Commerce the subjects presented must include Mathematics, and for courses in the Sciences (i.e. Science and also Agriculture, Architecture, Engineering, Food Science and Technology, Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, Veterinary Medicine) Mathematics and a Science subject."

I had thought that Irish was accepted as a second language a number of years ago except for language courses of course

Well, Irish is accepted as a second language, but for most courses you need Irish and a third language.
