Matthews Alan Semba - PhD in Philosophy

"After studying in Italy for my Masters, I started looking for an English speaking country for my PhD studies and when I came across the website for University of Galway, I instantly got hooked. I chose Galway because it is, in my opinion, the best city in Ireland, and is very conducive for learning both the Irish culture as well as whatever course one picks to study.

My first day at University of Galway was amazing. I was particularly struck by the cordial welcome I got from fellow students and staff. I immediately felt at home. Galway is just amazing."

— Matthews Alan Semba, PhD in Philosophy, from Malawi. He chose to study Epistemology for his PhD.
