Students applying for undergraduate Medicine in 2027 should be aware of changes to the CAO points calculation.

Under the revised system:

  • Leaving Certificate: The maximum is 625 points, with the previous moderation of points above 550 removed.
  • HPAT weighting: The maximum contribution to the combined medicine admissions score is 150 points.
  • Combined maximum: The maximum total from the Leaving Certificate and HPAT components is 775 points.

These changes apply to applicants seeking entry in 2027. Students applying under earlier admissions arrangements should refer to the guidance applicable to their year of entry.

For the latest information, consult the official HPAT Ireland website and CAO website.

What Our Past Students Say

Olivia Baird
Rated 5 out of 5

Repeating the HPAT was a daunting experience, especially after coming so close to Medicine the previous year, then I heard about Ashfield’s preparatory courses through a friend. I chose an online course which meant I got all of the knowledge and hints while learning from the comfort of my own home. The tips I learned from the course were a huge help in my preparation, as well as the mock HPAT which gave me an idea of where I needed to study, and the refresher day which answered any questions I had. I am very grateful to Ashfield and the teachers which helped me to gain a place in Medicine this year. Thanks Ashfield!

Mark Dowley
Rated 5 out of 5

Anyone seriously interested in achieving top class H-PAT results should highly consider taking the Ashfield College course. The well rounded foundation of knowledge provided is far above the standard and I found the revision day particularly useful to refocus my mind in the final lead up to the exam! There were so many concepts that I tried to learn on my own, that I now ‘get’ because of the instruction and exercises within this course.
