London & UK applicants
Applying to Irish medicine from the UK? You'll need the HPAT
Every year, students from London and across the UK apply to study undergraduate medicine in Ireland — at UCD, UCC, Trinity College Dublin, RCSI and University of Galway. Applications go through the CAO rather than UCAS, and alongside your school-leaving results you need a score in the Health Professions Admission Test (HPAT). It's an aptitude test, not a knowledge test: logical reasoning, problem solving and interpersonal understanding, none of which your A-Level or Leaving Cert syllabus prepares you for. That catches a lot of UK applicants out, because there is no direct equivalent in the UK admissions system — the HPAT is its own exam with its own techniques, and registration and test arrangements are run by ACER, so it sits outside the UCAS timeline you may already be planning around.

How we work with London students
HPAT tutoring for London students, delivered online
An Irish service, taught remotely — which is exactly why it works for students in London.
Good HPAT tuition in London is hard to find locally, and for a simple reason: the HPAT is an Irish admissions exam, so the tutors with real experience of it are in Ireland. Rather than settling for a general aptitude-test tutor who has never sat the paper, students in London can work with an Irish HPAT specialist online. That's what HPATHelp does — we're based in Ireland and every lesson happens over video call, so an online HPAT tutor in London is simply a tutor you meet on screen instead of in a classroom.
In practice, remote tutoring is often better than an in-person alternative for this exam. There's no commute across London after school, sessions can be recorded-in-notes and revisited, and your tutor can share their screen to work through real HPAT-style questions live — annotating diagrams, timing you on a section, and talking you through the reasoning as it happens. The HPAT itself is a computer-based test, so practising on a screen with a tutor beside you on the call is closer to exam conditions than working on paper ever is.
It also means you're not limited by geography. Whether you're in central London, the commuter belt, elsewhere in the UK, or living abroad while applying to Irish medicine, you get the same tutors and the same materials. Students who search for private HPAT tutors in London are usually looking for one-to-one attention from someone who knows the exam — and that's precisely what an online setup makes possible, without either of you needing to travel.
To be clear about where we're based
HPATHelp is an Irish online tutoring service, based in Galway, Ireland. We do not have a physical office, classroom or study centre in London, and there are no in-person lessons to travel to.
All HPAT tutoring is delivered remotely by video call, which is what makes it accessible to students anywhere in London, across the UK, or internationally.
