Courses

Students can choose to come for our two-week non-excavation course or for one of our four-week excavation skills courses, or they can also opt to combine courses to create a six-week or eight-week package at reduced rates. Students who wish to extend their stay in Ireland could, for example, combine the two-week architecture course with a four-week excavation course (e.g. Sessions 1 + 2 or Sessions 3 + 4) to create an unforgettable six-week stay which would immerse them fully in Irish culture, history and heritage, while students focussed on excavation could combine Sessions 2 & 3 in order to take both the introductory and advanced excavation courses in one eight-week, intensive stay. 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.
