American College Dublin

Irish Leaving Certificate equivalent (minimum H5 in two subjects, O6/H6 in four including Mathematics and a language) via NARIC Ireland credential-equivalency review for international applicants

American College Dublin's own course page states international applicants' secondary credentials 'are evaluated for equivalency to Irish Level 5 Leaving Certificate using NARIC Ireland resources' -- no GPA, SAT, or ACT figure anywhere on the institution's own applicant-info, international-student-guide, or course pages (all checked directly), a genuinely different admission mechanism from every other Irish institution (none uses a pure credential-equivalency review in place of CAO points or a standardized-test bar). ACD is US-branded and Dublin-based but not part of the National University of Ireland/CAO system; its degree is 'accredited in Ireland by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI)' as a Level 8 NFQ Major Award. The institution's web presence redirects through iamu.edu (International American University group) to acd.iamu.edu, confirmed as the same Dublin college at 1 Merrion Square N, Dublin 2. Non-EU tuition (EUR 9,500/year) confirmed directly on the course's own page.
