University of Galway

The School of Natural Sciences is the largest School in the College of Science and includes the disciplines of Biochemistry, Botany & Plant Science, Earth & Ocean Sciences, Microbiology & Zoology. We have a strong tradition of excellence in research and scientific education. The School has over 150 staff members, 1600 undergraduate and 170 postgraduate students (MSc & PhD). Our staff and students have come from all over the world and the School aims to provide an excellent and exciting environment to learn, work and develop. 4,600,000,000 years in 4 years – let us take you on that journey, from the origin of the solar system through the evolution of life, the building and destruction of mountains, the collision of continents the opening and closing of oceans, all within a widely fluctuating climate. This is the Earth story. This is the story you will investigate when you join us in EOS.Whether you are coming from Ireland, UK, continental Europe or beyond, whether you have just left school or are returning to education after years outside of formal education, we hope you will find the Earth and Ocean Sciences programme at Galway a lively, interesting, challenging, engaging and friendly environment.
