    Same as Irish in any other Irish university, really. There's a great social life, though, and Galway is hopping with Irish speakers.

    It's pretty much the same as anywhere else, alot of literature but fairly easy to pass with a bit of cramming at the end. same as most places, you'll get more out of it if you put more in! Great lecturers, generally not as much choice in reality of modules as they like to show on the prospectus - eg lecturers on sabatical,off sick etc..

    I've heard Irish in other universities can be poor.
    Many of the lecturers in NUIG live in the Gaeltacht, and live the language fully in their daily lives. This gives them a different view and experience of the language in comparison with staff in other universities, who mostly live in an English speaking environnment.
