Master of Science (M.Sc.) in Health Services Management

Programme Admission Criteria


Our admission criteria are as follows:

A recognised third level qualification at the Bachelor’s degree level or above* in a professional discipline.

* Potential candidates with Irish nursing qualifications dating before 2002 might be exempt from this otherwise strict entry requirement of a Bachelor’s degree. Other candidates with non-degree qualifications due to the grading structure of their disciplines, are advised to contact the Course Co-ordinator directly.

The above are the minimum admission criteria for entry into the M.Sc. Health Services Management programme. Due to the limited number of places available in each academic year, a Selection Committee makes the final admission decisions according to a predefined scoring system that takes into account, amongst other things, the candidates’ career aspirations and academic track records. Occasionally we may invite short-listed candidates for an interview before making the final place offers.

For potential applicants who do not have English as their first language, and/or whose primary degree was delivered in a language other than English, they are advised to check with the Graduate Studies Office (+353 1 896 1166) regarding the documentation they need to submit to demonstrate their English proficiency for pursuing a course at the Masters’ level at Trinity College Dublin.
