What IELTS, PTE, Duolingo or TOEFL score should I aim for to get into Griffith College Dublin?
→Griffith College Dublin accepts IELTS, PTE Academic, Duolingo English Test and TOEFL iBT. For most courses it typically asks for IELTS 6.0 overall at undergraduate level and 6.5 at postgraduate level. Scores vary by programme, so check your exact course requirements.
My PTE was taken on September 26, 2026, so will it expire, and do I need another English test for Germany or Ireland?
→Your PTE Academic score is typically valid for two years from the test date, so a test taken on 26 September 2026 stays valid until 26 September 2028. Whether you need another English test depends on the country and visa type, so check the latest requirements.
I scored 62 overall in PTE General, so can I use this score for my UK or Ireland study applications?
→No, you cannot use a PTE General score for study applications in the UK or Ireland. Only PTE Academic is accepted. Master's programmes typically ask for a PTE Academic score between 58 and 65, with some, such as Trinity at 69 and UCD up to 79, needing more.
What documents are required for PhD applications, including academic transcripts, work experience letters, IELTS/PTE scores, and letters of recommendation in Ireland?
→Do I need to take the PTE exam and have I completed the necessary lectures for it in Ireland for a Master's?
→Yes, you need English proficiency proof for a Master's in Ireland if you are a non-native speaker. PTE Academic 59-65 is accepted alongside IELTS 6.5 and TOEFL iBT 88. Your certificate must be issued within two years of your course start. Exemption applies if your previous degree was fully taught in English.
