These are exciting times for us at University of Galway. We have given this new chapter in our heritage both long and detailed consideration. We believe passionately in our new name, as it simply reflects who we are, our essence and our identity, and our place in Ireland and in the world.
"In discussions over the last year or so I have often remarked how we are in, of and for our place. Our University has played a major part in the development of Galway , our region and more broadly, through the global recognition it enjoys today. Our new name and brand encapsulates that sense of growing together, building on our strong traditions to shape together our promise for the future, for the public good. "
