Applications
Please note that you can apply to study with RCSI via the following websites:- Irish/EU applicants should apply through the CAO website.
- Applicants residing in North America should apply through Atlantic Bridge website.
- All other Non-EU applicants may apply directly to RCSI between 1 November and 15 January (in the year of admission to the programme).
All applicants to RCSI undergraduate programmes are categorised as either EU or Non-EU, depending on whether or not they meet the EU applicant criteria (which includes nationality and residency criteria). If you do not meet the eligibility criteria for EU applicant status, you will be deemed a Non-EU student for fees and application purposes.
To ensure you complete the application process correctly, you will need to confirm your status as an EU applicant or a Non-EU applicant.
If you are not sure whether you are an EU or Non-EU applicant, please consult RCSI’s EU vs Non-EU policy.
Under the Common Travel Area (CTA) between Ireland and the UK, UK citizens will continue to enjoy the same fee status that they have to date, post-Brexit. For the purposes of determining fee status, the UK should continue to be considered an EU Member State when completing the EU Nationality test.
If you have any questions, please contact the RCSI Admissions Office who can assist in verifying your status.
The information below should be used as a guide only, regarding your EU or Non-EU applicant status. If, after working through the guide, you are still unsure of your EU or Non-EU status, you should refer to this policy for further guidance.
