B.Comm (Gaeilge) - Meet Amy
B. Comm (Gaeilge) - Lisa
Commerce Gaeilge Virtual Open Day 2020
University of Galway Open Day - Languages
Course Overview
The BComm (Gaeilge) has been introduced following demand from students for a programme that combines the study of Business and the Irish Language. This is a four-year degree programme in Commerce including the study of the Irish Language, allowing students to develop their language skills while gaining valuable insights into business and culture.
It is the ideal qualification for students who want to build a career in business or who simply wish to expand their career choices. A great advantage that students studying this course have is that in year three the programme is divided between a one-semester internship in an Irish-speaking environment and a semester studying at University of Galways Gaeltacht campus in an Cheathrú Rua.
All business subjects are taught through English.

- Optional
- A module you may choose to study.
- Required
- A module that you must study if you choose this course (or subject).
