About

Founded as the national training body for surgery in Ireland, RCSI has been at the forefront of healthcare education since its establishment in 1784.

Today, we are an innovative, world-leading international health sciences university and research institution offering education and training at Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Professional level.

Our largest faculty, the RCSI Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences delivers education and training across the healthcare spectrum through our Schools of Medicine; Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences; Physiotherapy; Nursing & Midwifery; and Postgraduate Studies, and the Institute of Leadership.

RCSI is more than just a third-level institution. We are home to students, educators, clinicians, researchers and policy leaders in a range of healthcare disciplines.

Simulation is a key stepping stone between the classroom and the clinic; learn more about our work in the RCSI SIM Centre for Simulation Education and Research.
