School of Law—Taught Programmes

Please ensure that you submit supporting documentation directly to PAC (contact details here). Please note that original documents submitted cannot be returned. Remember: all documents and supplementary material must be clearly marked with your PAC application number. Ideally large-size documents you need to post into PAC (e.g., birth cert.) should be reduced in size to A4 (or equivalent) size. It is advisable to obtain a certificate of postage when posting supporting documentation.

Please note: you can now upload some documents (rather than having to post these in) via your PAC account, using the 'My Account' and 'Status' section, after you log in to PAC.

For all Law Taught Programmes the following supporting documentation must be submitted:

Official qualifications and exam results (transcripts) to date: required for all non-NUIG applicants and for NUIG graduates who did not receive their undergraduate degrees from NUI Galway. Copies of originals must be certified as true copies. Applicants who have still to graduate must send in these on receipt
English language competency: if necessary, evidence of English language competency
Personal statement: all applicants must enclose a typed personal statement of approximately 600 words explaining why you wish to undertake the programme(s) of your choice, outlining how it fits into your career objectives, unless indicated otherwise in the table below.
Birth certificate: non NUIG-applicants: a copy of your birth certificate must also be submitted.
References: non-NUIG applicants only must provide two written references.
