If you have completed the Higher Education Entrance Qualification Certificate or the University Entrance Examination Certificate, you will generally need to complete UCD’s International Foundation Year prior to beginning your Bachelor’s degree.
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.
