Study at NUI Galway, Ireland
Suffolk University Law School is delighted to announce a new partnership with the National
University of Ireland at Galway (NUI Galway)! Located on the scenic west coast of Ireland,
NUI-Galway is a prestigious research university and an integral part of the Irish national
university system.
Under the partnership, Suffolk law students study international and comparative law in Galway
under the supervision of Suffolk Law professor and guest lecturers from NUI-Galway and other
institutions in Ireland, earning three law school credits. The courses run from late May through
early June.
Students have the opportunity to visit institutions of local legal culture, and interact with their
Irish peers. Galway is a thriving college town, with great vitality in music and performing arts.
As the academic program will be over by early to mid June, participants are strongly urged to
pursue externships or other legal work for the rest of the summer. Students interested in
externship placement in Irelandor other international locations should contact international
externship director, Professor Christine Bustany, early in the process. All such externships can
be completed for credit.
