地點

Galway is Ireland’s third largest city, and is situated on the western coast of the country. Traces of Galway’s rich medieval past can still be seen today in its narrow cobbled streets and laneways, and it is often considered Ireland’s cultural capital. Galway has been voted as Ireland’s most charming and friendliest city by leading publications such as  the New York Times and the Conde Nast Traveler magazine. As the European Capital for Culture for 2020, Galway as a city has been constantly transforming and innovating.

Galway’s diverse cultural heritage and international focus make studying at NUI Galway a rich experience for its international students who make up about 20% of the city’s population during term time. The city is walkable and also offers good transport links to the rest of Ireland and airports. London is just 90 minutes away via plane.

Dublin and Shannon Airport are the most popular international airports accessed by international students to reach Galway (which is 200km from Dublin Airport and 85km from Shannon Airport). National Bus Service operators run direct bus services to Galway, taking around 90 minutes (from Shannon) to 3 hours (from Dublin). A 20 minutes walk from the NUI Galway campus takes you to the Ceannt Train Station operating the Irish Rail services which connect Galway to the rest of the country.
