Courses Available

Modules Available

Students are not permitted to take classes outside of their current studies and must be nominated through a valid agreement in their subject area. For example, Business students must be nominated through a Business agreement, and will study under the College of Business, Public Policy and Law.

Students do not follow specific courses, but rather have a wide range of modules made available to them in each subject area. Please do not recommend, or direct, your students towards specific courses that they can take while here. Rather, they will be advised to choose their modules per subject out of the ones available in our Visiting Student Handbooks.

Available Modules

Available modules our outlined in our Semester 1 and Semester 2 Handbooks.

1. Visiting Student Academic Handbook Semester 1 25/26
2. V‌isiting Student Academic Handbook Semester 2 25/26

Module Selection

• Visting Erasmus students are only permitted to take modules outlined in our Visiting Student Handbooks. 
• Students are not permitted to take modules outside their area of study for which they have been nominated by their home university.
  • This area of study should also match the bilateral agreement between the two universities.
• Students are not permitted to take modules from more than one College.

Subject Specifities

• Certain subject areas may have prerequisites.
  • Erasmus students who wish to be admitted into courses in Science, Engineering and Medicine will have to get approval for their chosen modules. 
  • Approvals are not guaranteed, and it is always recommend the student considers backups shoudl they not be permitted to the class.
• You will not be able to take any courses other than the ones listed in the above-mentioned Handbooks, and you should not attempt to make any special arrangements with lecturers in this regard, because you will be unable to register for courses not in the Handbooks, sit exams in them, or gain any formal recognition for them.

Important to note:

• Learning Agreements cannot be approved definitively until the most up-to-date listings are published for a particular year/semester. 
  • Signatures on Learning Agreements before arrival in Galway denote approval in principle only, and the University cannot be held responsible for any discrepancy between previously-signed Learning Agreements and the actual availability of courses when students arrive.
• While a module may be provisionally approved on your learning agreement, this is not a guarantee that you will be admitted to this class.

Students will find out more at the Academic Orientation session at the beginning of the semester.
