Amharc ar fhreagraThe enrolment data requested by the Deputy is contained in the attached spreadsheet. This data was sourced from the Higher Education Authority (HEA) Student Records System (SRS) and is rounded to the nearest five for data protection purposes. The data is for undergraduate entry medicine programmes only.
The enrolment data for the academic year 2023/2024 is not yet available from the HEA as they are currently in the process of gathering and auditing this data. It is expected the data will be published in the coming weeks.
Applications for students coming from Ireland, the UK and EU countries are processed through the CAO. Applications for students from outside the EU are processed directly by the higher education institutions.
