The Catholic University was neither a recognised university so far as the civil authorities were concerned, nor did it offer recognised degrees. Newman had little success in establishing the new university. He left the university in 1857 and it subsequently went into a serious decline. The situation changed in 1880 when the recognised Royal University Of Ireland came into effect and students of the Catholic University were entitled to sit the Royal University examinations and receive its degrees. After the 1880 reforms the Catholic University consisted of a number of constituent colleges, including St Patrick's College, Maynooth , as well as an early University College Dublin which was passed to the control of The Jesuits in 1883, when it incorporated the faculties of the Catholic University except medicine. In 1908 the Catholic University essentially came to an end with the creation of the National University Of Ireland and University College, Dublin . CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL The Catholic University Medical School commenced lectures for medical students in 1855, the recognition of its graduates by chartered institutions ensured its success unlike the associated Catholic University. This ensured that the medical school became the most successful constituent college of the Catholic University and by 1900 the medical school had become the largest medical school in Ireland. The 1908 reforms reconstituted the Catholic University Medical School as the Faculty of Medicine of University College Dublin. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
