 WELCOME

I would like to welcome you to the website of the School of Natural Sciencs at NUI Galway.

The School of Natural Sciences was formed in 2007 and is the largest School in the College of Science. The School comprises of five Disciplines: Biochemistry, Botany, Earth and Ocean Sciences, Microbiology and Zoology. All disciplines have a strong tradition in excellence in research and teaching. In total, over 150 staff members, over 2000 undergraduate and 170 postgraduate students (Msc & PhD) are part of the School of Natural Sciences.

At NUI Galway the School and its Disciplines have been able to establish a vibrant research environment. Within the School, research encompasses all levels of biological organisation, from molecular and cell biology, through research at the organisational level, to the study of populations, communities and ecosystems. Moreover, these activities have integrated links to plant and agricultural biosciences, geoscience and energy-related research. To achieve excellence in research and teaching, researchers of the School are based in or otherwise linked to three of NUI Galway's research institutes: the Environmental Change Institute (ECI), the Martin Ryan Marine Science Institute (MRI) and the National Centre for Biomedical Engineering Science (NCBES).

A detailed overview about the research and teaching activitites of the School of Natural Sciences can be found on the web pages linked to this.
