CEA CAPA knows it's important to make sure the credit you earn abroad will transfer back to your school at home. Fortunately, it's easy to find what you need in Galway, because the University of Galway offers such a wide variety of courses. In order to choose your courses for your upcoming semester, follow the steps below:
Step Four:
Select 4 modules and at least 4 alternate modules offered during your study abroad program. University of Galway credits are allocated according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). Under this system, 3 U.S. credits typically equals 5 or 6 ECTS. The credit conversions recommended by the university for their own courses are as follows:
(Note: Some courses are worth 2.5, 6, 9, 12, or 18 credits.)
5-7 courses is considered to be a full load at the University of Galway. Please verify with your university the amount of credits you will receive for the courses you are taking so that you maintain full-time status abroad.
Demand for some modules is extremely high. Please bear in mind that it is not always possible to guarantee admission to particular modules, although we will do our best to offer you places in the modules you prefer.
