NUI Galway is to award scholarships worth €1,500 each to 20 postgraduate students under a new scheme announced today.
EU students commencing their studies in autumn 2016 and undertaking full-time Masters courses in the areas of drama, film studies, English, history, Irish studies, medieval studies and Old Irish will be eligible to apply.
Scholarships will be awarded on a competitive basis to students who fulfil the criteria as outlined by NUI Galway and who have been accepted on to a full-time Masters course.
Head of the university’s School of Humanities Professor Felix Ó Murchadha said: “Employment chances increase greatly by ‘topping up’ a primary degree with an MA, and I expect these scholarships would attract excellent applicants to a range of excellent and exciting programmes.”

The closing date for applications is Friday, August 5th, 2016. More details are available at 091 495689 or email humanitiesscholarships@nuigalway.ie.
