Podiatric Medicine

The Discipline of Podiatric Medicine was established in NUI Galway in 2008 and offers the only BSc in Podiatric Medicine  course in the Republic of Ireland.  The development of the podiatry course at NUI Galway was an exciting initiative and has been developed through close partnership with NUI Galway and the Health Services Executive (HSE) West. Dedicated teaching facilities have been developed at Áras Moyola and a state of the art podiatry clinic has also been renovated by the HSE at the Merlin Park Hospital site. This is where the majority of the students’ clinical education and training will be undertaken throughout the duration of the programme. 

There are 25 places on the undergraduate course available annually.  We welcome applications from school leavers, international students as well as mature applicants. The Discipline is committed to providing a comprehensive education for Podiatrists and the curriculum is based on best available evidence in relation to both theory and practice.

This website gives details of the course, of individual modules and research activity and has links to other websites of potential interest.  Useful information regarding the programme is also provided in our Podiatric Medicine Brochure ‌.
