Our MSc in Clinical Physiology is a new full-time programme designed to support you in developing the knowledge, skills, and professional attributes necessary to practice as a Clinical Measurement Physiologist.
This programme will appeal to science graduates with a background in physiology and individuals from other healthcare professionals interested in developing professional skills in the diagnostic evaluation of patients in one of four different disciplines: cardiology, neurology, gastrointestinal and respiratory science. A unique element of this programme is the focus on neonatal physiology.
We aim to provide an excellent educational experience in both academic and clinical environments and to support our students as they develop the necessary attributes to contribute to the constantly advancing and evolving nature of clinical measurement science.
Practice education is an integral component of the programme and our students will have the opportunity to undertake clinical placements in both Years 1 and 2.

Admission Requirements
Applicants must have at least a Second Class Honours Grade 2 in a primary honours degree (NFQ, Level 8) (or equivalent) in any of the following relevant subject areas: physiology, medical and health sciences, neuroscience or other relevant biological sciences. Other graduates with an honours primary degree in a relevant health care discipline e.g. nursing, may also be interested in this programme, although proficiency in understanding systems physiology will be an important entry criterion.
- Shortlisted applicants will be called for an interview (face-to-face with an opportunity for online).
Consideration under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) may also be given to applicants who do not meet the above entry requirements but who have relevant experience in a relevant field to physiology, medical and health sciences, neuroscience or other relevant sciences.
Eligible applicants will be shortlisted for an interview based on the following criteria:
- Educational qualifications
- Academic achievements outside of the curriculum, e.g., publications, conference presentations
- Contributions beyond academia
- Motivation to become a Clinical Measurement Physiologist, e.g., a motivational statement will include the applicant's research aspirations in this field and indicate how their previous degree will contribute to this research and their future career as a clinical measurement physiologist.
- Communication skills
Students, or applicants in receipt of an offer, are subject to Garda Vetting as per the UCC Student Garda Vetting policy and are prohibited from engaging in a relevant work placement unless the vetting process has been completed.
