- School of Medicine and Medical Science (University College Dublin)
The School of Medicine and Medical Science at University College Dublin, founded in 1854, has a strong reputation for the quality of graduates it produces. Graduates include the current head of school, outgoing dean and the president of the University College Dublin.
The School is now gaining in strength and reputation with the opening of a new purpose built state of the art building on the Belfield campus, the heart of the university. The clear advantage of this is its close proximity to the Conway Institute (one of Europe's leading biomedical and biomolecular research centres), Ireland's Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases, and the Centre for Synthesis and Chemical Biology.
Students study a 3-year pre-clinical program (a pre-medicine year is completed by approximately 85% Leaving Certificate students) and then study two final years in the affiliated teaching hospitals, either St. Vincent’s University Hospital or the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital. Upon graduation students are awarded bachelors degrees in medicine, surgery and obstetrics.
The medical school has a twinning medical program with the Penang Medical College. There is also a small group of North American students entering each year.
In September 2005 there was a restructuring of the medical programme in the systems-based model, as part of a university wide implementation.
