Rewarding Excellence

In recognition of the achievements and successes of many students, NUI Galway offers a range of highly prestigious scholarships designed to attract and reward the best students. The Taught Masters’ Scholarships (valued at €1,500 per student) are designed to reward excellent EU students, from any institution, who have attained First Class Honours in their undergraduate studies and applications are now open for this scholarship scheme for 2022-2023.
Part of NUI Galway’s commitment to excellence is seeking new and better ways to explore and provide solutions to today’s global challenges. With over 200 taught and 150 research postgraduate programmes, including master’s, postgraduate diplomas, higher diplomas, postgraduate certificates, structured PhD, and structured master’s available, students have a choice of full-time, part-time, and blended learning options. Programmes focus on regional, national, and international policy and practice, which shape students’ global outlook as they graduate, progress in their careers, and prepare to be leaders.
Global Hub for Technology, Innovation and Creativity
The University’s position globally has played a significant role in the development of NUI Galway’s suite of postgraduate programmes. The location, on the west coast of Ireland, the gateway to Europe, sets the scene for the University’s distinctive global hub for technology, innovation and creativity. Galway is an internationally recognised centre of excellence for medtech, data science, culture and creativity, climate and oceans, public policy and innovation. The wellspring of industry and research excellence has led to an exceptionally rich ecosystem in our city which informs and drives innovation in our postgraduate education which spans the over 200 taught postgraduate programmes on offer in 2022. Within this ecosystem, lecturers, researchers, students and industry are highly engaged and postgraduate students are encouraged and facilitated to tap into the wealth of expertise and opportunity in the region.
Experience the West
Galway is a diverse, modern, and exciting city with a long cultural and intellectual heritage. No matter where you are from or what you would like to do when you graduate, the Galway experience will challenge, inspire, develop, and support you. Through a combination of excellent teaching, rich and varied campus life, and a cultured city, you will have an experience of a lifetime. Lively, full of culture and beauty, Galway is regularly named one of Ireland’s and Europe’s best places to live and visit.
Leadership Ambition
NUI Galway’s approach to postgraduate education is to teach today’s students to be leaders of tomorrow by extending their capabilities beyond the classroom and exploring their role in society. Some studies prepare students for specialisation and professional accreditation, while others are focused on upskilling and preparing students for career advancement or re-skilling, which facilitates students to pivot and change careers.
Industry-aligned postgraduate programmes are designed to meet students’ needs and produce future-ready graduates who stand out in a fast-paced, changing global job market. Students are taught by internationally renowned academics who are experts in their fields, actively involved in research, making new discoveries and benefiting from the latest ideas and intellectual challenges in their field. Getting a degree should not be the end of someone’s learning. We want to inspire our students to be passionate about their subjects beyond university. An NUI Galway education prepares students for life, helping them to develop an informed curiosity and a lasting passion for learning.
