Program Description:

IFSA - UNIVERSITY OF GALWAY PARTNERSHIP
Geotag  Galway, Ireland

WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Known as the cultural heart of Ireland, Galway is a youthful and lively city that celebrates and preserves the Irish language and culture. With cobbled streets and colorful storefronts, Galway boasts a thriving café culture, countless opportunities to experience traditional pub music, and it is widely known for its festivals and civic events.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Study Irish history, science, engineering, and more in Ireland’s beautiful western coastal region. Known for proudly preserving its language and culture, Galway has a youthful, bohemian vibe, thanks in part to a sizable student presence.

Known as the National University of Ireland, Galway until 2022, the university has a strong service culture. Easy to navigate on foot or by bike, this beautiful campus is hugged by the Corrib River on one side and neighborhoods that border the city center on the other. Start your cultural journey by learning Gaelic at the university’s beginner class for visiting students. (More options for visiting students include drama, indigenous arts, marine biology, and Irish teaching philosophy.) When exams come around, get study tips from Galway students on Exam Jam podcasts.

Get to know more of Ireland with special IFSA  excursions (included, no extra fees!). Our students often explore the stunning West Coast and Kilkenny, a medieval city where you can get your fill of artisan foods and try your hand at the Gaelic sport, hurling.

Visit IFSA - University of Galway Partnership on the IFSA website for complete academic details including a list of classes and syllabi.
