Courses at Galway Archaeological Field School

The Galway Archaeological Field School will offer one course in 2025 and transferable Academic Credit is available to all students. We aim to provide high quality tuition to all our students and this will be achieved through small class sizes, professional tuition and close on-site supervision. We are primarily an educational institution and so we design our courses and select our survey and excavation sites with one important thing in mind – the provision of first-class training opportunities for our students.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we will not be excavating in Summer 2025 and so we will offer only one course – our two-week Castles, Cloisters and Churches course on medieval architecture and archaeology. Our course fees include tuition, accommodation (on a self-catering basis), access fees to historic sites and local transportation, so that additional expenses for our students are limited to transport to and from Galway and food for the duration of their stay.
