We welcome applications from prospective students of all backgrounds.
Irish and other EU/EEA applicants apply via the Central Applications Office (CAO). The CAO has published helpful and detailed advice on selection criteria for Medicine programmes at Irish universities including overall minimum Leaving Cert Points and HPAT-Ireland scores here. UCD has published entry requirements and advice for prospective Medicine applicants on the MyUCD website.
The HPAT-Ireland (Health Professions Admissions Test-Ireland) is required in addition to the Leaving Cert for Medicine programmes and is administered independently by ACER (Australian Council for Educational Research). Follow the HPAT-Ireland website for details on the test as well as test registration, preparation advice and upcoming test dates. The HPAT is not required for Radiography or Biomedical Health & Life Sciences at UCD.
UCD School of Medicine has HEAR (Higher Education Access Route) and DARE (Disability Access Route to Education) places available for Undergraduate Entry Medicine, Radiography and Biomedical Health & Life Sciences as listed on the UCD Registry website.
Non-EU applicants apply directly via UCD Global and can contact internationalenquiries@ucd.ie with any admissions queries.
Irish and other EU applicants can contact Admissions on schoolmed.admissions@ucd.ie with questions around entry requirements and the application procedure.
