Strategy 2016-2020
Arts Strategy 2016-2020
To deal with changed demand for Arts degrees after the last crisis 2011-2016, NUI Galway instituted a strategic review of the Arts and Social Sciences in 2016 entitled Arts Strategic Review 2016 to carry out a root-and-branch review of programmes and structures of the College of Arts, Social Sciences and Celtic Studies.
After 4-years of strategic change in the College, an assessment was undertaken of progress in important strategic areas.
A report, the Arts Review Strategy; 4 Year Progress Report, appraised developments in four key areas: undergraduate programmes, postgraduate programmes, research, and structures and governance.
Some key highlights reported include:
- Undergraduate programme innovation: 13 new 4 year undergraduate programmes
- A 20% improvement in student retention
- Improved points: 33% reduction of students in the 300-350 band
- 84% of students had a good or excellent student experience
- 4 new postgraduate programmes
- Internationalisation:: 80% increase in recruitment of international post graduate students
- Within the university, the college had the highest share of both international students (21%), supporting the internationalisation agenda and students from non-traditional backgrounds (31%), supporting the diversification agenda
- Developed a new Research Strategy resulting in a research support scheme, realising prestigious funding awards from the European Research Council, the Irish Research Council Laureate Scheme and Science Foundation Ireland
- New governance structures were established including a School restructuring and a new College Executive and College Office
- Reflecting improved demand Undergraduate fee income increased by €5m per annum between 2016 and 2020, enabling the College to balance its budget
