Medicine (Graduate Entry – GAMSAT required) Entry requirements

Students who have previously been unsuccessful in any Medicine programme (i.e. have not met academic or other requirements within the programme) or have any issues which would affect their registration with the Irish Medical Council will only be considered for admission on a case-by-case appeal basis in exceptional circumstances, to be considered by the School of Medicine Course Board.

EU Entry Requirements

• Candidates must hold a minimum 2.1 (second class honours, grade one) result in their first honours bachelor degree (NFQ Level 8).
• For candidates who meet this requirement, GAMSAT (Graduate Australian Medical Schools Admissions Test) will then be used as the sole instrument to select students for the programme.
• Graduates from any discipline may apply.

Non-EU Entry Requirements

• Candidates must hold a minimum 2.1 (second class honours, grade one) result in their first honours bachelor degree (NFO Level 8).
• For candidates who meet this requirement, GAMSAT (Graduate Australian Medical Schools Admissions Test), or in the case of North American applicants, MCAT will be used as an instrument for selection.
• Non-EU applicants must also attend for interview as part of the selection process.

Validity of GAMSAT scores

GAMSAT scores are considered valid for two years. For example, results from GAMSAT 2021 will be valid for application to the Graduate Entry Medicine Programme at UL in 2021 or 2022 but not in 2023.
