All applicants to universities in Ireland are required to demonstrate evidence of a minimum English language level to be accepted onto courses. If you are applying for a visa to study in the UK, you need to prove that you have a certain English proficiency level. This level is sometimes called the ‘B2' level. Most courses in Ireland usually require an IELTS test score of at least 6.0 (with no band score below 5.0). A pass in Trinity ISE Level 3 in each component will also meet this requirement.
