You can study medicine anywhere, but what I've come to realise is that it is the mentors, tutors, staff and most importantly, the friends that you meet along the way that make the difference.
The collaborative PBL approach in the pre-clinical years enables you to meet so many people that become familiar faces, people that you rely on when the workload is high and exams are near.
As I come to the end of med school here in UL, it is those friends and the journey we have been on together that I am grateful for. Medicine is hard, it demands a lot of you as an individual. Yet it is working together that makes the difference at this school, a valuable skill for future doctors.
Studying Medicine at the University of Limerick (UL) is a truly rewarding experience. The curriculum is designed to promote experiential learning, giving students early clinical exposure and hands-on opportunities to develop essential skills. With a strong emphasis on problem-based learning and small group teaching, UL fosters a culture of curiosity, critical thinking, and self-directed study.”
My experience at UL School of Medicine has been such a defining part of my journey. As a Canadian international student, I always felt welcomed and supported, both academically and personally. The PBL style pushed me to become an independent learner, and over time, it really helped me grow in confidence in both my knowledge and clinical skills. The close-knit environment made it easy to connect with peers and faculty, and I’ve had amazing opportunities to explore my interests through research, teaching, and clinical placements. Beyond academics, it’s the people and friendships that made these years so special. I’ve grown so much here, and I’ll always be grateful for my time at UL.
