Results/Transcripts:

All MTU students have been issued a personal digital wallet containing their academic transcript(s) knows as the grademailer.   Students can share official transcripts via the Parchment (Digitary) system to Home University Academic Coordinators in the case of exchange students, with potential employers for graduating students, and with other educational institutions for students applying to progress to higher education either now or in the future. 

Please note, MTU International Office no longer receives copies of student transcripts, therefore we will no longer be emailing Erasmus or exchange student transcripts as has been the process in the past. The Parchment/Digitary System allows your students to share their official documents with you directly. Please contact transcriptscork@mtu.ie for more information regarding your parchment. 

English Language Requirements:

All Incoming Erasmus students are required to have a level of English language proficiency which will enable them to understand lectures, participate in classes fully, seminars and to sit examinations in the language. Ideally, students should have level B2 on the CFER scale, but at a very minimum level, B1. www.coe.int/lang-CEF

Such applications are subject to the incoming application deadlines and procedures given above.
