Key Information for Incoming UCD Medicine Students

Additional Information for Medicine Offer Holders

The following information is intended for current UCD Medicine Offer Holders.

Irish Medical degrees are registrable in Ireland and recognised internationally. Internship posts in Ireland for non-EU graduates cannot be guaranteed as the number and funding of intern posts is determined by the Irish health service and is not within the jurisdiction of Medical Schools in Ireland.

This does not affect US/Canadian graduates who normally return to North America immediately after their graduation to start their residencies.

All other non-EU citizens should check with the relevant medical licensing authorities to ensure that you are aware of the licensing requirements for graduates of Irish medical schools who wish to return to their home country to practice.
