Minimum grade point requirement to access undergraduate studies (first cycle) in Ireland

Admission to the majority of undergraduate studies (first cycle) in Ireland is subject to the fulfillment of a minimum grade point requirement. This is the grade point you receive after passing your upper secondary school studies in combination with the grades you receive at the university entrance examinations in your home country. Therefore, always check with your Irish university about the minimum grade point you need to obtain, also referred to as "Cut-off point".

If you are an EU student, you can easily convert your grade point to the Irish system by using the European Grade Converter. If you are not an EU student, you can use the European grades comparison chart to learn how you would score in Europe.
