Programme Overview

  • Visiting Students can study at NUI Galway for a semester or a full academic year. Semester One runs from September to December. Semester Two runs from January until May. 
  • Visiting Student do not receive a degree from NUI Galway. The credits you earn here can normally be transferred back to your home institution. 
  • You can expect to take 3 - 6 classes (modules) per semester. This equates to approximately 30 ECTS credits, which is a normal course load for NUI Galway students per semester.
  • Classes are generally delivered through lectures, which are normally held in large or medium sized lecture halls and which provide the foundations on which students are expected to explore further through independent reading.
  • Lectures can be supplemented by smaller tutorials or seminar classes which provide an opportunity for discussion in a smaller group setting.

Exams and Transcripts

Visiting students are examined alongside our full time degree-seeking students. Most classes are examined by end of semester examination, and may include mid-term assignments and/or continuous assessment. Upon completion of your studies, you will be sent a transcript showing the classes you have taken at NUI Galway as well the credits earned and marks (%) received. In the matter of credit transfer and course equivalence, the International Office can, on request, provide indicative guidelines to translate ECTS credits to home country credits.
