*An EU student is defined as an EU national (i.e., holding an EU passport/or birth certificate) who has been ordinarily resident in an EU member state for at least three of the five years immediately preceding their entry to the third-level course. This excludes residency for educational purposes. For more information see www.universityofgalway.ie/fees

Deposit - Taught Courses only
To secure a taught course postgraduate place at NUI Galway, a deposit is payable at offer/ acceptance stage. The deposit is usually €500 but can be €1,000 for some courses. The deposit payment is deducted from your course fee at registration. If you do not register at NUI Galway, then this deposit is not refundable. However, if you did not attain the stipulated conditions of your offer when a conditional offer was originally made, the deposit will be refunded to you, with the exception of the Professional Master of Education and Máistir Gairmiúil san Oideachas programmes.

Methods of Payment
EU fees can be paid securely online when registering using a debit or credit card. Alternatively, you can request a bank giro online; log into your student portal at www.universityofgalway.ie/fees and click on the, “Online Fee Payment Service”, link. Bank giros can only be used in any bank within the Republic of Ireland. Please retain your receipt for proof of payment. EU fees may be paid in two equal instalments—50% on registration and 50% by 31 January (of the following year). If you are being funded by a SUSI grant or another organisation, you must provide written evidence of this funding to the Fees Office by 31 October annually.

International student fees may be paid in full prior to registration or 50% of fees may be paid before registration* and the balance paid in full before 31 January 2024

*Depending on visa requirements, students may need to pay €6,000 or 50% as part of their visa approval/application. For more information see www.universityofgalway.ie/student-fees/

Hide-Studying BIS involves, among other things, learning how to design and build ICT systems, as well as understanding how to exploit the business opportunities provided by the ever increasing digitisation of society. To do this, we must develop an intricate understanding of how organisations work, the business processes that generate and consume information, the roles of people and working groups in these processes, and the efficiency of these processes.

The main goal of the Higher Diploma in BIS is to prepare graduates for employment in an ICT-related business context. This course will introduce students to the principles, methods, tools and architectures used in the development and management of ICT. Upon graduating, course participants will be equipped to manage digital technology across all industry sectors and in a range of business functions.

3 GOOD REASONS TO STUDY THIS COURSE
1. There is a shortage of graduates with skills in areas such as IT project management, business systems analysis, data analytics, and cybersecurity. This course covers all these areas, while affording students the opportunity to specialise in their preferred area by choosing from a list of elective modules.

2. Students will be exposed to the latest research from the BIS discipline, and will learn how to leverage these insights to exploit the business opportunities provided by the ever increasing digitisation of society.

3. Graduates can identify, analyse and solve business, technology, and technology management problems in applied and other settings.
