Academic Entry Requirements

Students who have graduated from Indonesian High School exams are invited to apply for our International Foundation Year as a pathway to UCD degrees. Alternatively we can consider students who have completed 1 or 2 years of a Sarjana (S1) course accredited with B at a recognised university for stage 1 entry. 

For students who have completed international examinations such as A-Levels or the IB, please see entry requirements here. 

English Language Requirements  

Teaching in Irish Universities is normally through the medium of English, therefore all applicants are required to demonstrate a high level of competence in English language. UCD accepts certificates in English language such as IELTS, TOEFL and other international examinations.

For information on all recognised exams please visit the English Language Requirements website, or contact southeastasia@ucd.ie. 

If you have completed Mathayom 6 or iGCSEs you can choose our one year Foundation pathways to Business, Economics and Social Sciences or Engineering and Sciences. Please find more information here: International Foundation Year or click the image below.
