Important change for 2027 medicine applicants
From 2027, the way Leaving Certificate and HPAT results are combined for undergraduate medicine entry is changing. Leaving Certificate points above 550 will no longer be moderated, meaning the full Leaving Certificate score of up to 625 points can be counted. The HPAT contribution will be weighted to a maximum of 150 points.

HPAT Student Results
HPAT is highly competitive and forms an important part of the selection process for undergraduate medicine in Ireland.
- In our previous student survey, over 1 in 3 respondents reported achieving an HPAT score of 180 or above.
- One of our students achieved an overall HPAT score of 243.
Understanding HPAT scores
HPAT results include an overall score and percentile ranking, showing how a candidate performed compared with other students who sat HPAT in the same year. Percentiles can vary from year to year.
For students applying to medicine from 2027, the calculation of medicine-entry points is changing. HPAT will remain required, but its contribution to the combined medicine-entry score will be weighted to a maximum of 150 points. [Read about the 2027 medicine-entry changes.]

So, you're thinking about Studying Medicine in University?
First of all, well done on your decision to pursue medicine. This is a challenging and rewarding university course choice. As you may know, entry into university courses in Ireland (including Medicine) is officiated by the Central Applications Office (CAO). Each year, depending on the number of candidates applying for medicine, the CAO decide how many points are required to gain entry into the medicine degree courses.
It's competitive
Students wishing to pursue an undergraduate medicine course must compete against each other for a limited number of university places by achieving points in both the Leaving Certificate Examination and the HPAT®-Ireland exam.
Preparation is a must
The Leaving Certificate will take up the vast majority of your time and that is how it should be. However, the HPAT®-Ireland exam is a notoriously difficult exam. If you are serious about studying medicine you will need to have a realistic study and preparation plan to ensure you achieve your maximum score. This is exactly what the Career Services preparation course provides you with.

What is the HPAT Exam?
The HPAT®-Ireland exam is the medicine admissions/entry test selected by the Irish Medical Schools for prospective medical students and is administered by the Australian Council for Educational Research Limited (ACER).
The HPAT®-Ireland exam measures a candidate’s logical reasoning and problem-solving skills, non-verbal reasoning, and the ability to understand the thoughts, behaviour and/or intentions of people. It does not test academic knowledge and candidates do not require special understanding of any academic discipline.

A Student's Experience
The following account is written by a Leaving Certificate student who was successful in her HPAT® exam and her application for medicine.
“I have dreamed of becoming a doctor since a very early age. As soon as Leaving Cert year rolled around I knew I had a huge task ahead of me. I found the best way to approach this intimidating year is to do it one step at a time. The big picture at this moment is overwhelming and you can waste a massive amount of valuable time and energy on worry and negative thoughts”….
