Galway

Galway, Ireland’s west coast harbour city, is located where the River Corrib meets the Atlantic Ocean. The city’s focal point is 18th-century Eyre Square, a popular gathering place surrounded by shops and traditional pubs that frequently feature live Irish folk music. Nearby, stone-clad cafes, boutiques, and art galleries line the Latin Quarter’s winding lanes, which still have remnants of the medieval city walls. NUI Galway’s international reputation for cutting-edge research is growing, and the university has the highest success rate in Ireland for European Union research funding through the Horizon 2020 program. Ireland is an excellent place to study abroad for a variety of reasons, including the high quality of teaching and education, career opportunities, and a pleasant way of life. According to the OECD 2019 Education Report, young Irish people have the world’s fourth highest educational standards. NUI Galway is one of Ireland’s most international universities, and Galway is the most diverse city in the country. Every year, over 3,000 students from over 110 countries attend NUI Galway. Galway, located on the outskirts of Europe, has a long history of reaching out to the rest of the world. It is named among the world’s friendliest cities.
