Our Students

Undertaking a Bachelor in Business and Management in Galway Business School has been one of the best decisions I made. It not only allowed me to expand on my French degree in International Trade but also offered me a strong basis of international business knowledge to undertake a Master's in International Management in NUI Galway. Small classes allow all students to interact with lecturers. It is a great way for any foreign student to develop an international business mindset and to gain crucial knowledge regarding business and management via tours, case studies and group work, as lecturers are extremely helpful, interesting and supportive. In my opinion, Galway Business School offers a tremendous opportunity to get prepared not only academically, but also professionally, on an international level.

Living and studying in Galway was one of the best experiences I had in my life. All the lecturers and academic staff at Galway Business School were incredibly supportive which enabled me to graduate with a BA in Business Management. I have since secured my place in a Master’s programme in International Business in Ascencia Business School in France. I had the wonderful opportunity during my time at GBS to study and work with many different nationalities which gave me the desire to travel and work abroad in the future. I would highly recommend Galway Business School and I will be forever grateful to all the staff.

"In my opinion, the small and interactive class structure was a beneficial setting for our part-time studies, which took place on Monday and Wednesday evenings. This allowed students to have open discussions with lecturers, to ask questions and to properly engage with one-another. I felt that the hours offered were ideal and the price of the tuition fees were very reasonable and competitive. Our lecturers were kind, patient, insightful and created enjoyable, interactive classes."

"Galway Business School offered me the opportunity to return to education with enough flexibility to fit my learning in around family and work commitments. The staff and lecturers take a genuine interest in your development and support you in reaching your full potential. The smaller classes mean you always have input and the lectures are both interesting and informative. I’m delighted I chose Galway Business School for my degree!"

I graduated with a Bachelor of Business (Level 7 Degree) from the Galway Business School in September 2017. What really enjoyed about the Business School was meeting all my Tutors and embracing this new phase in my life. As a married mum with a family, the challenge was definitely trying to balance work life and your family responsibility and obligations and at the same time trying to do your best and get the volume of course work completed at the best of your ability. The course was structured very well, which was greatly appreciated. The standard of education is really high and this was represented with my results achieved. My degree has created a new excitement within me. I have made new friends for life. I am now on a new path to further education. I am loving my life now, my confidence has grown. Thanks to the Galway Business School Team and the amazing lecturing staff.

My name is Vishnu Murukan and I am an Indian national. I Graduated from Galway Business School in 2018, the best college that I have ever studied in. The college is placed at an excellent location with an amazing beach view. The teachers were very friendly and you could always get help from the staff whenever needed, they also helped me in finding an accommodation and part time job. I had great classmates from different countries and enjoyed studying with them. I liked the fact that the classes were small and that individual attention was given to all, and there was good interaction between the instructors and students, they were always willing to help, and were very flexible in meeting to help students. I am very thankful to everyone at the Galway Business School. I would always recommend Galway Business School to anyone who is ever looking to come to Ireland.

I want to express the value that this school brought to my life. Galway Business School is not only about achieving academic results but to grow both personally and intellectually, which is fundamental to deal with future life and working situations.The lecturers are passionate and motivated to transmit all their experience and knowledge. I cannot thank all the academic staff enough for helping me develop important skills and competencies that are essential for my current academic journey.

"I returned to further educations for a variety of reasons but mainly for self-development. I am delighted I chose Galway Business School to partner me on my journey. The staff are very supportive and are always available to answer questions and help out where required. The lectures are very well delivered and interesting."

"The lecturing standard was very high and the BA in business programme was very relevant to my career goals. I really enjoyed the close-knit community, and there was great support from both the other students and college staff. My advice to future students is to put the work in from the beginning to get the most from your course."

It was a great experience studying at Galway Business School. I did the QQI Certificate in Strategic Management. The school has an amazing and attentive staff, good structure and a high quality of lecturers. I will be forever grateful to have lived this experience.

"A friend recommended Galway Business School to me and it has been a great experience. I liked the way the course was structured it really taught you to be disciplined and how to keep on track of everything. You are encouraged to do independent research and self-assessment. I would always recommend Galway Business School to a friend!”

"GBS is like a big family, classmates, lecturers, staff, and even directors are always there to support you. This is something you never experience in a huge university. The small class sizes I feel are so beneficial. Lecturers can make sure that no one is falling behind, there are debates happening all the time, and you can always ask any questions at any point."
