Health Professions Admissions Test (HPAT)

HPATMany of our sixth year and repeat students apply to study medicine. We feel it is important to assist them in preparation for HPAT examinations. We offer timetabled HPAT Classes to our full-time students. Preparation in small class groups is given on a weekly basis for both the Irish and Ulster HPAT examinations.

HPAT Preparation Tutorials – Saturdays 9.20am to 10.50am from 8th Nov – 14th Feb

Leinster Senior College will commence HPAT tutorials on 8th Nov 2025 for 12 weeks in preparation for the HAPT examination due to take place February 2026.

All sections of the course will be covered to include Logical Reasoning and Problem Solving, Interpersonal Understanding and Non-Verbal Reasoning.

While the course is specifically for Leinster Senior College students, there are a limited number of places available to external students.
