GRE

The GRE is not required for most postgraduate programs at University College Dublin (UCD). UCD evaluates applicants primarily based on their academic background, relevant job experience, and English language proficiency (as measured by the IELTS and TOEFL). However, some top schools, especially in business and engineering, may accept GRE scores as an additional credential. A strong GRE score can enhance your application by demonstrating your quantitative and analytical skills, while it is not required, particularly if your academic background is mediocre or you attended an unappreciated university.
