Choosing a research programme
There is a lot to consider when you're choosing your research programme—finding the right supervisor, finding funding and more. At NUI Galway, we try to make the process as streamlined as possible.
Finding a supervisor
You must contact the research institute or centre that you're interested in studying at or working for. They will let you know who the available supervisors are, what their research interests are, and anything else you need to know.

"I have had a very positive experience so far as a PhD student in the Italian Department at NUIG. There are great facilities and seminars and the helpfulness of the people in the Department is a wonderful asset. It has been a very enriching experience, on a personal, cultural and educational level "
