About the Program
Study Irish history, science, engineering, and more in Ireland’s beautiful western coastal region. Known for proudly preserving its language and culture, Galway has a youthful, bohemian vibe, thanks in part to a sizable student presence.

The University of Galway was known as the National University of Ireland, Galway until 2022.

About Galway
A thriving college town, Galway offers a vibrant and diverse population, yet retains a quaint, small-town feel. Open-air markets, museums, shops and restaurants add to Galway's appeal. 

Program Benefits
  • Youthful and lively city filled with art and music
  • Located in a Gaeltacht area, where the Irish language and culture is celebrated and preserved
  • Courses that focus on Irish history, arts, commerce, engineering or sciences 
  • An active Student Union that sponsors more than 50 social and cultural clubs and societies 

Scholarships
IFSA scholarships are primarily need-based and factor in any additional cost your study abroad program might have over home school tuition. The awards are $500 for summer programs, $1,500 for semester programs and $2,500 for full year programs. These scholarships may apply to any IFSA program, with the exception of our custom programs.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Application Process
There is a dual application process for this program.  (1) Students must apply to for permission to study abroad on this program; you can do this by clicking the "Apply Now" button.  At the same time, (2) students apply directly to the program for admission.  The program application can be accessed on the program website.  Please pay close attention to both the IWU and program deadlines, as they may be different.

Tuition Cost
IWU has a home-school tuition policy, which means that students studying abroad will be billed the regular IWU tuition—unless the study abroad tuition is higher, in which case the student pays that higher cost.  Unless otherwise noted, IWU does not charge room and board for studying abroad; instead, students pay those costs to the program provider.
