Established in 1784 as the sole provider of surgical training in Ireland, RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences continues in this proud tradition to this day, while also offering degree programmes in Medicine, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy and Advanced Therapeutic Technologies. RCSI was also the first medical school in the Republic of Ireland to introduce a Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) programme in 2006, enabling students from a range of undergraduate backgrounds to study Medicine.

RCSI is an innovative, world-leading international health sciences education and research university with undergraduate and postgraduate schools and faculties across the health sciences spectrum. We are home to numerous healthcare institutes as well as leading research centres that drive pioneering breakthroughs in human health. Located in the heart of Dublin, with international campuses in Bahrain and Malaysia – and a student community of over 60 nationalities – we have an international perspective on how we train tomorrow’s clinical professionals today.

Healthcare is all we do. Every decision, every lecture, each practical demonstration and research study focuses on enhancing human health. RCSI graduates are part of our global network of more than 30,000 alumni in 96 countries around the world, who are highly recognised and much sought after internationally.
