Profile
The government has a profound impact on our lives. Government decisions affect everything from our health and the affordability of housing and transportation, to the quality of the environment and the viability of businesses and voluntary organizations. And these days, the world appears to be changing rapidly too; think of Trump and Brexit, among many other unexpected developments.
All of this means the study of Government is more crucial than ever. The BA Government (Politics, Economics, and Law) will enable you to better understand emerging critical issues and develop the skills to make sense of this world in order to make a difference in the public, private, or not-for-profit sectors.
The BA in Government (Economics, Politics, and Law) provides you with a unique opportunity to study each of these three distinct disciplines and to develop an appreciation of how they interact. This program gives you an understanding of how politics, democracy, the law, and economics shape Ireland and the current global environment. You may also have the opportunity to study abroad or attain experience with a work placement for one year as part of this program. So if you want to understand how government works and how public policy can be improved, or if you are interested in working in government, business, or law, then the BA in Government (Politics, Economics, and Law) at NUI Galway is for you.
