Architecture worldwide, developing strong analytical and research skills. It equips
learners with a strong, flexible and adaptable skill set which is suited to a variety of
careers in architectural private practices, industry, research, design and consulting
teams or academia
Art
The BA in Art is a dynamic, visually-driven programme. Students are challenged to address traditional,
contemporary, conceptual, conventional, and experimental approaches to thinking, making, performing,
and writing about art in today’s world. Skills are delivered in Ceramics, Sculpture, Digital Media, Drawing,

spiritual and social wellbeing. Caring for persons with various types of conditions (acute & chronic
physical illnesses), Nurses also have a key role in helping those who have had an illness to recover
to their optimum well-being.
Bioanalytical Science
Bioanalytical Science provides a clear knowledge of the underlying concepts behind modern bioanalytical
techniques and the application of these techniques in the areas of biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and
related industries and in environmental analysis.
Students will gain technical competence in analytical biochemical, genetic, immunological and
microbiologically based analytical methodologies and the skills and knowledge required to work in the
biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries as well as in state scientific agencies
Agricultural Engineering
This degree is very hands-on with weekly practicals classes, workshop practice, individual
and group projects as well as work placement experience.
Over the duration of the programme, each student will receive, on average, 24 hours of
tuition per week.
Students will be based between the Department of Mechanical and Industrial
Engineering at GMIT Galway campus and GMIT Mountbellew campus (at Mountbellew
Agricultural College). It is envisaged that graduates from the programme will be employed in a wide diversity
of agricultural engineering related disciplines both nationally and internationally,
namely:
• Technical/engineering drafting, field technicians
• Agricultural engineering design/systems design
• Agricultural systems (destructive and non-destructive testing)
• Agricultural processing, engineering sales, service, etc.
• Cognate disciplines involving heavy machinery design
(i.e. Forestry, Peat & Mining)
• Bioenergy/biomass sector
Agriculture and Environmental Management
Employment in the area of farm planning and farm advisory services is rapidly growing.
Graduates of the honours degree in Agriculture and Environmental Management meet
the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine educational qualification
requirements for FAS / GLAS advisors. GMIT honours (Level 8) qualifications are recognised worldwide for postgraduate entry.
Note: There is an industrial work placement in year two.
This course is recognised by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine for
eligibility to register as farm advisors under the Farm Advisory System (FAS).
Graduates of the honours degree may apply to the Teaching Council for assessment to
teach Agricultural Science at secondary level.

Animation & Game Design
This programme is aimed at those who wish to secure employment in the Animation and/or Game industry,
and those who wish to design and produce their own animated films or video games.
From the outset, the Animation and Game Design programme has a deep focus on world-building, both
narratively and artistically, providing the skills and techniques necessary for its students to create truly
immersive worlds, environments and characters. Students will use a large array of 2D art and 3D modelling
software, become versed in narrative design theory, learn advanced level design techniques and many
more skills. These skills are widely sought after by a wide range of industries today.
Applied Biology and Biopharmaceutical Science**
These programmes will prepare graduates for employment in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and
healthcare sectors in Ireland. Many opportunities also exist in environmental protection, food quality
and safety, the regulatory agencies and research. Students will gain a professional qualification
that will enhance their prospects for career advancement to managerial positions. Graduates also
find employment in research or successfully undertake postgraduate research courses leading to
higher degrees. Many students in the final fourth year of the programme have secured graduate job
opportunities before completing their final exams.
