Study medicine at Trinity College Dublin.
Where tradition meets medical excellence.
Located in the heart of Dublin, Trinity is one of the seven ancient universities of Britain and Ireland — and Ireland's oldest. Its campus is divided into three faculties comprising 25 schools, offering both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
The School of Medicine celebrated its tercentenary in 2011, marking three centuries of teaching, discovery and clinical training. Alongside it, the School of Dental Science offers a five-year professional programme rooted in the same tradition.
For Singaporean students, Trinity offers a rare combination — an ancient university's prestige, a compact city-centre campus, and degrees registrable with both the Singapore Medical Council and the Singapore Dental Council.
