Applicants must:

• Meet the minimum academic eligibility criteria (including English language requirements) for entry to RCSI’s MPharm programme, as outlined in the entry requirements.
• Apply directly to RCSI between 1 November and 1 February (in the year of admission to the programme). Late applications will be accepted until 30 April, however early application is advised.

• Documents which reflect your life experience (such as work/life balance, extracurricular activities, relevant work/voluntary experience etc.)

*Academic references: Applicants are required to nominate an academic referee as part of the application process. The Admissions Office will contact the referee and request that they provide a 'confidential academic reference'. The full name, title, position and contact details of the referee are required as part of the online application (please do not begin your application without these details). It is advisable therefore to inform the referee and seek their permission to nominate them as a referee.

Please note: Kuwaiti, Saudi Arabian and Omani nationals who are under government scholarships must apply through their respective Ministries of Higher Education. Their files are then sent to RCSI for consideration by the relevant cultural offices in Dublin or London. For more information, please email the Admissions Office.

We strongly recommend you refer to the Non-EU (excluding USA/Canada) application timeline before completing your application.

If you have any queries about your application please email the Admissions Office.
