A huge welcome to the first-ever Direct Entry Medicine BMBS students at UL School of Medicine

This week, our new students were welcomed by Prof. Colum Dunne, Head of School, along with members of the academic and administrative teams as they began their journey at UL.

The week was packed with icebreaker activities, programme talks, new friendships, a tour of Limerick, and a campus scavenger hunt, giving students a chance to get to know each other and explore their new home on campus.

We're delighted to welcome you all to the School of Medicine and can't wait to see what you'll achieve over the coming years.
