You should plan for an IELTS overall score of around 6.5 to 7 with no single band below 6.5, though the exact requirement varies by university. Language proficiency is typically enforced strictly for non-native speakers.

Waivers and Other Documents

Some institutions may accept other proof of English or waive the requirement if you already hold a degree from an English-speaking country. Beyond the language score, the usual file includes:

  • Academic transcripts
  • Statement of purpose or personal statement
  • Letters of recommendation, typically 2 to 3
  • CV or resume
  • GRE or GMAT scores, depending on the university
  • Health insurance coverage

My Advice

Check the course page of every university you like, because scores differ even within Ireland. Book your English test early enough to retake it if needed, and ask the admissions office whether a waiver could apply to your degree.
