Specific Course Requirements
This table shows what is required in terms of the Hungarian Examinations to meet specific subject requirements.

Guideline Indicative equivalence with Irish Leaving Certificate points 
As a guideline, it is anticipated that the indicative equivalence will be calculated as follows, counting the best 5 subjects and using only distinct recognised subjects.

A minimum of 5 subjects is required. However, a bonus can be given for a 6th subject so the maximum score of 600 (excluding bonus for maths) is attainable.

Single Sitting

All subjects are examined at the same time and points are calculated based on a single sitting.

Bonus points for maths: 25 additional points will be awarded for a grade 2 or better in Advanced level Mathematics where mathematics is one of the subjects counted for points.

Students who have not completed the above qualifications can apply using one of the international examinations recognized by Trinity.
Accepted qualifications for applications include:

• GCE A Levels 
• International Baccalaureate 
• US High School Diploma with SAT or ACT
