School of Education

In my role as Head of the School of Education at the University of Galway, I extend a warm welcome to you to our School website.

Our School is committed to improving the lives of children and young people, through providing transformative and inclusive education,  and impactful research. We recognise the transformative potential of our scholarly endeavour on the future lives of children and young people in schools and consequently on the well-being, efficacy and success of individuals, communities, and society more broadly, and we invite you to join us.

The School of Education is comprised of two disciplines, the Discipline of Children’s Studies, and the Discipline of Education. Through both disciplines, we offer a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, several of which are only offered here in the University of Galway. Our range of academic programmes and research projects create a vibrant and innovative space for learning and development, in which we engage with innovative, inclusive, and impactful practice in all domains of our work.

Please spend some time exploring what we do; our different programmes; and the range of different research projects. We are always delighted to talk to prospective students and to share our work, so please get in touch should you have any questions.

Prof. Michal Molcho, Head of the School of Education, University of Galway.
