Overview

Medical Science is the study of investigative laboratory procedures, techniques and instruments that are required for the diagnosis of clinical disease and the monitoring of therapy. In recent years there has been an increasing demand for medical laboratory diagnostic services and for the development of new services. This CORU approved programme will provide students with a solid foundation in the basic sciences together with the skills and knowledge to practice medical laboratory science. Graduates are specifically qualified to work in modern hospital laboratories and are involved in the investigation and diagnosis of medical conditions and disease. In third year, students are required to complete 1000 hours of structured practice placement as student medical scientist. This work experience provides the student with an in-depth knowledge of hospital laboratory systems. During this placement the student is paid a non-means tested generous allowance by the Health Service Executive. Placement locations are geographically dispersed therefore, student may have to make alternative living arrangements when they are on placement depending on if they have transport or not. This is a CORU approved programme and is accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (UK) and the Academy of Clinical Science and Laboratory Medicine (ACSLM). It is a requirement that all students for this programme are Garda vetted by ATU on commencement of their studies. Students are expected to undergo a healthcare screening process on admission to the programme. Specific vaccinations may be required prior to practice placement. Programmes that require students to undertake practical training in a professional environment and that lead to a professional qualification/licence to practice may be subject to the Institute’s Fitness to Practise Policy.
