Subject area

Subject areas are U4S’s own grouping of the official title, so that comparable programmes sit together across countries. They are not the institution’s faculty structure.

The official title

Software Design & Development (MSc, HDip, MSc External)

This is the programme name exactly as it appears in the institution’s own catalogue. U4S does not translate, shorten or standardise a programme title.

What U4S has verified

Reviewed

Each line below says whether an official page actually stated the thing, or whether nobody has checked. A field marked not reviewed is a gap in U4S, not a statement about the programme.

Programme exists: Confirmed by the official catalogue named below.
Degree level: Stated by the official catalogue this programme was read from.
Teaching language: Not reviewed. U4S does not infer a language from the language a web page is written in.
Duration: Not reviewed. U4S does not infer a duration from what is usual in the country.
Study mode: Not reviewed.
Campus: Not reviewed. U4S does not take a campus from the city the institution is registered in.
Tuition: Not reviewed for this programme. Check the institution’s own fee page.
Admissions: Not reviewed for this programme. Requirements must be checked on the official admissions page.

Next verification step

Open the official programme page and record the teaching language, duration and campus only where that page states them explicitly.

Official programme page

Everything that actually governs an application — entry requirements, deadlines, fees and the language of instruction — lives on the institution’s own pages and can change without notice. Check there before you rely on anything.

Potentially relevant funding

Schemes U4S has read from this institution’s own scholarship pages, with what connects each one to this programme and what has not been established. U4S does not award any of these and cannot tell you whether you would get one.

This scheme is provided by this institution. U4S has not established which programmes it covers.
Funding round
Needs review
Not established
which programmes it covers; which subjects it covers; which degree levels it covers; who may apply; any citizenship or residency condition; which funding round is open

Whether you are eligible is decided by the provider, not by U4S. These connections come from what the provider itself published about who the scheme is for; anything it has not published is listed as unresolved. Check the official page before you rely on any of this.

Admissions

Institution-wide admissions pageSource located

Published by the institution for applicants generally. The programme may require something different, and this page does not say so either way. 110 U4S programmes at this institution cite it.

Official admissions page: www.universityofgalway.ie/courses/how-to-apply/
Application portal: nuigalway.elluciancrmrecruit.com/Apply/Account/Login
Language requirements: Not located. U4S records no language-test threshold for any programme, anywhere.
Required documents: www.nuigalway.ie/postgrad-admissions/supportingdocuments/
Intake and deadlines: Not reviewed. U4S publishes no deadline without the intake it belongs to, and has not read this page’s dates.

Entry requirements change between intakes and differ by programme, by the qualification you hold and by where you are applying from. U4S records where the official requirements are published and when that page was last retrieved — nothing more. Students should verify current requirements on the official admissions page before relying on anything.

Next verification step

Open the official admissions page and record, only where it states them explicitly: the intake it applies to, the deadlines with their years, and the applicant categories it covers. U4S records no grade, test score or acceptance rate at any point.

What the institution asks for

Read from the institution’s own admissions pages, in the institution’s own words and units. U4S does not decide whether anyone meets any of it.

U4S never converts between grading systems or between language tests. A GPA is not a percentage, a UK classification is not a German Note, and an IELTS band is not a TOEFL score — institutions decide what they accept, and only the institution’s own published threshold governs an application. Everything below is recorded in the units the institution itself used.

Application fee

A fee charged to apply. Separate from tuition, and never counted as tuition.

Institution-wideStated, but more than one value applies
*PME / MGO the application fee is €100.
U4S records no single value here: the fee is stated in a footnote, so which applicants it applies to depends on what the footnote marker refers to elsewhere on the page.

Requirements marked as institution-wide were read from a page that covers more than this programme. They are what the institution publishes for applicants generally, and the programme’s own requirements may differ.

Everything above is a partial reading of one page. The official admissions page is the only complete statement of what this institution asks for: https://www.universityofgalway.ie/courses/how-to-apply/

Before you read this page

An orientation page, not a researched profile: This page sets out what to work out about studying here and where the authoritative answer lives. It deliberately contains no costs, fees, entry requirements, rankings or institution names, because U4S does not publish that kind of detail until it has come from a named, checkable source and been reviewed. Anything specific — admission, visa, tuition, housing law, healthcare registration — must be confirmed with the institution concerned and the relevant official authority for that country, both of which can change their requirements without notice.
U4S is not a university: University4Students is an independent information platform. It is not a university, college, admissions office, government body, scholarship provider or accredited education provider, and it cannot submit, influence or decide any application.
U4S does not publish rankings: U4S does not rank, rate or score universities, countries or cities, and it does not publish league tables. Where this page compares options, it describes trade-offs and who each option tends to suit — not which one is better.
