Galway, Ireland
Study on the Emerald Isle! The University of Galway is one of Ireland’s oldest and most prestigious universities, located on the Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast. Galway has been rated as the friendliest and most charming of cities, large enough to offer many activities but small enough to navigate. IU College of Arts and Sciences students will study in UG's College of Arts, Social Sciences & Celtic Studies or the College of Science and Engineering.
Due to the late addition of this partner university to our portfolio, we can consider a later application deadline. Do try to submit your application by March 1st if you can, but you may take until end of the day on March 8th if necessary.
