NB: Following Academic Simplification, modules in 2nd, 3rd and 4th year will now generally be 5 ECTS and will run in 6 week blocks. As a result timetables are subject to change. Students should contact the relevant discipline for clarification.

Lecture Start Times

Effective from 2nd September, 2013, all lectures will commence on the hour (e.g. 9.00 a.m., 10.00 a.m., 11.00 a.m. etc) and will finish at ten minutes to the hour (e.g. 9.50 a.m., 10.50 a.m., 11.50 a.m. etc).

Welcome to Earth and Ocean Sciences (EOS)

Earthquakes, tsunami, nuclear accidents, volcanic ash, flooding, landslides, geo-fracking, oil spills and geo-engineering: nowadays all these issues seem to be constantly in the news, and their effects can range over the entire spectrum of significance from small scale local events to a wider regional impact and in some cases even to long term global significance. How do we begin to understand these phenomena and their impacts? EOS is perfectly placed to train you as an earth and ocean scientist equipped with the academic, technical and field skills required to better understand the complex actions of our world.

At NUI Galway we offer an approach to Earth and Ocean Sciences that is unique in Ireland. Our staff’s expertise covers a wide range of disciplines such as mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, geophysics, hydrogeology, physical and chemical oceanography, marine biogeochemistry, palaeobiology, sedimentology and plate tectonics. Whether we are studying earthquakes, tectonics, volcanoes, ocean productivity, ocean currents, mass extinctions, climate change, energy or environmental pollution, the most productive insights into these phenomena often arise from interactions amongst the different disciplines.

Whether you are coming from Ireland, UK, continental Europe or beyond, whether you have just left school or are returning to education after years outside of formal education, we hope you will find the Earth and Ocean Sciences programme at Galway a lively, interesting, challenging, engaging and friendly environment.

If you have any difficulties, if you have any questions, if you’re not sure how to find someone or where to find an office, please remember that there are plenty of people – in EOS, Student Services and the Science College Office - who are here to help you. Don't hesitate to ask.
