No students are scheduled to graduate as podiatrists in the current year. The National University of Ireland, Galway established a four-year BSc Honours course in Podiatry in 2008. This is the only Podiatry course available in Ireland at third level. The first intake of students to the course is due to graduate in 2012. The course intake is limited to a maximum of 25 students per annum.
