International Nursing

An International Nursing module is available to students studying the Bachelor of Nursing Science (General) and Bachelor of Nursing Science (Psychiatric) programmes. Students can select this module as an Elective option in Year 2, Semester 2.

Students will undertake a four-week service learning placement in Ireland or abroad and learn how aspects of culture influence the health of individuals and the delivery of health care.

Previously, NUI Galway nursing students have engaged in service learning experiences in Zambia, Ghana, Kenya and Tanzania. These experiences enable students to develop their community engagementy skills and gain an understanding of cultural diversity, social awareness and social responsibility.

The School currently offers placements in Zambia and Tanzania.

Students fundraise to support this service learning placement.
