University of Galway

Our innovative programme integrates the latest medical advances with extensive clinical exposure and simulation-based learning, where you will develop clinical expertise to deliver high-quality, compassionate patient-centred care. As you progress through our modern, immersive curriculum, you will learn from international medical experts and patients in both hospital and community settings. Our aim is to provide a transformative education experience, in an inclusive environment that enables our graduates achieve excellence in critical thinking, safe collaborative practice and communication skills, with a focus on patient-centred care that is sustainable, ethical, and equitable. Our undergraduate medicine programme is designed on an Outcome-Based Curricular Model. The curriculum moves away from traditional, discipline-based exams and instead uses integrated assessments that reflect how doctors think and work in real clinical settings. Each year, your progress will be assessed across learning outcomes in three key modules, namely Knowledge of Health, Sickness and Practice, Clinical Skills for Safe Practice, and Professional Competencies (Values and Behaviours). These are measured through a modular structure that blends what you learn across subjects, ensuring a more connected and meaningful learning experience. This approach supports deeper understanding, helps you apply knowledge in practice, and prepares you more effectively for your role as a future doctor.Immersive Clinical Training in Medical Academies- You’ll be part of a close-knit team and benefit from one-to-one support from experienced tutors, with low student-to-patient and student-to-tutor ratios.
