The University offers a number of access places on all University courses for socio-economically disadvantaged students. Financial documentation in support of each application is required. Potential applicants should make advance contact with the UL Access Office - telephone 061 213104.

Midwifery is a demanding profession, both physically and emotionally. Successful applicants must be of good health and have the ability to achieve the required competencies of a midwife.  Offers of places on the midwifery programmes are subject to satisfactory completion of Garda Vetting and Health Screening, including vaccination. This will be organised by the School of Nursing and Midwifery. Prospective students should be aware that there is likely to be a cost for health screening and vaccination.
