The study of the language, literature, history and civilization of Celtic peoples is pursued at the University under the guidance of the Faculty of Celtic Studies of the National University of Ireland, Galway which comprises the School of Irish and the Departments of Archaeology and History. These constituent departments represent the core disciplines of the Faculty.
The undergraduate program B.A. in Celtic Studies is of three years duration, but the student has an option of doing an additional year's study abroad as part of the program.
The Faculty offers both a one-year taught M.A. and an M.A. program by major thesis. The Ph.D. degree in Celtic Studies is awarded for a major dissertation written under the direction of a senior Faculty member.
The range of subjects offered by the Faculty includes:
- Irish language and literature of all periods,
- Scottish Gaelic
- Welsh
- Breton
- Medieval and Modern Irish History
- Archaeology of Celtic Europe (with special reference to Ireland)
Students studying for the B.A. degree take a selection of courses in these areas with the requirement that the Irish language and its literature form the core of their study.
National University of Galway has a good collection of books, journals, articles and other study materials in their James Hardiman Library which the students can access and carry on their research work.
There are some scholarships given to the students by the university as a mark of their achievement.
The Student Accommodation office provides a register of lodgings for all the students which include staying with a host family and Student Residences. There are nine Student Residences providing self-catering housing specifically for NUI Galway students.
