Description:
National University of Ireland Galway (Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh) was founded as one of the three original colleges of the Queen's University, established under the provisions of the Act 8 and 9 Victoria in 1845. The College opened for students in October 1849. Since the 1960s the University has experienced significant and continuous growth, both in its stock of buildings, facilities and physical resources and also in the numbers of its students and staff. Its student body during the 1997/98 academic year is over 7000, with academically strong programmes of teaching and research throughout its seven Faculties.

Literature, Independent
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Most of the classes are large lectures, and I would recommend taking seminars whenever possible. Avoid at all costs "Women in Contemporary Irish Society"!
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The system is such that it demands a great deal of independent motivation (unlike colleges in the US) -- to get the most out of classes, one should read as much as possible. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Literature, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Try to talk to someone who's done the same course on previous years. If not, you're gonna be a bit lost. Also, be pretty sure of the amount of credits you require. The system in Ireland is different too so be careful.

ACADEMIC

Literature, Butler University exchange program
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Take the seminar courses if you're accustomed to a small student-teacher ratio. The lectures are just that - lectures. Little to no interaction during class.

ACADEMIC
by Diana, Loyola College, Baltimore, United States
History, through Arcadia University
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
English lectures are very big and the only requirement is a 2500 word essay for visiting students, so I would suggest taking as many lectures as possible. English seminars were also pretty good. Classes are for the most part, very boring, but class is by no means mandatory.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The end-of-year essay was the way to go, you get a choice of about 7 different questions and therefore only need to study one particular section in order to pass. In-class exams were quite difficult in my own opinion. I can't say I learned too much at this university, but I had a great time anyway. Class is not a priority for most visiting students!

Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
