Programme profile
The UCC Medical School has a long and illustrious history in the education of clinicians and clinician scientists. Medicine was one of the three founding faculties when University College Cork opened its doors to students in 1849 as Queen’s College Cork aiming to provide “the most advanced and superior education to the inhabitants of this southern province”. Nowadays, the UCC Medical School caters for a diverse national and international student population and aims to “provide doctors of the future with a world class, student centred education, based on current knowledge, informed by research and with an awareness of societal needs.”
In 2008, the School introduced a new Graduate Entry Medicine programme, especially designed to cater for the advanced and diverse learning styles of the mature, university-experienced student. This 4-year programme is available to Irish and International graduates who hold a Primary degree in any discipline (see above for further details re: entry requirements). The medical curriculum in UCC is firmly rooted in the basic Medical Sciences of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry but places special emphasis on clinical instruction. A distinctive feature is small group, patient centred teaching where students learn the skills of listening and communicating, history-taking and clinical examination under the watchful eye of highly qualified clinical lecturers. Our curriculum aims to further integrate basic and clinical science, behavioural science and clinical practice in order to promote a holistic yet scientific and evidence-based approach to patient care.
The Medical curriculum at UCC reflects current best practice in Medical Education and is under constant review and evaluation. From the beginning of their Medical Education, students learn clinical skills and professionalism alongside basic Medical sciences so that new knowledge is acquired in an integrated, patient-centred and holistic way. The curriculum is further enhanced by a wide range of Student Selected Modules ranging from research projects to humanities’ workshops (e.g. Art and Medicine, Creative Writing). Research is a key element of UCC Medical Education, and all students complete a Research Project in their Final Year
