Career Opportunities There are opportunities in environmental economics, development economics and agricultural economics, and graduates have gone on to do PhDs or have found employment in government departments, international environmental and development agencies, in land and coastal area-management, and in renewable energy sectors." The natural resource sectors have proven to be quite resilient in the downturn with the Agriculture sector regaining all lost output that occurred at the time by 2011. Both the Agri-Food and the Marine sectors have in recent times have prepared extensive development strategies as part of the Food Harvest 2020 and the Ocean Wealth strategies. As a sector it differs from other sectors given both the dependence upon natural resources and degree to which outcomes within the sectors depend upon regulation. Given the disciplines historic strengths in environmental economics and public economics, a focus on the economics of the natural resource sectors seems a natural fit." -Prof. Cathal O’Donoghue, Head, Rural Economy and Development Programme, Teagasc"The Marine Institute would like to express its support for the new Masters being proposed ...... The marine sector in Ireland has received increased attention in recent years. Its development as an economically active, commercially viable, environmentally and socially sustainable sector is in keeping with some of the most important European and Irish economic, social and environment policies." -Caroline Bocquel, Director Corporate Services, Marine Institute NREP Annual Fieldtrip The seagoing training for the M. Econ Sc. Natural Resource Economics and Policy programme is held in Cork, Ireland each year on board the RV Celtic Voyager. This training is collaboration between the Strategic Marine Alliance for Research and Training and the Social and Economic Marine Research Unit (SEMRU) at NUIG. This is a unique opportunity for students of natural resource economics to experience the multidisciplinary scientific research methods used to survey the marine environment through the core disciplines of oceanography, fisheries biology, benthic ecology and geosciences. The sea going field trip focuses specifically on economic activities taking place in Cork Harbour and a hands-on examination of the methods by which marine scientists collect data that can be used by economists for modelling and analysing the impacts of economic activities on the marine environment. This data used include wave, swell and weather readings from an offshore marine monitoring platform, acoustic mapping of the seabed, the variety and size of commercial fish species in Cork Harbour and its approaches and data on pollutants in water column and seabed. On completing the trip the students complete an assignment as part of their Cost Benefit Analysis module where they are invited to respond to a request for proposal (RFP), issued by Providence Resources Ltd, to scope out a CBA for a proposed pipeline from a newly developed oil and gas field south of Cork Harbour. The case study CBA is intended to provide information that will allow for the economic assessment component of a final Project Impact Statement (IS). Work Placement The three month internships that form part of the 12-month programme also allows students to apply the skills learned during the course in a real-world environment.

The course was very practical and included a field trip aboard the RV Celtic Voyager aimed at enhancing knowledge and appreciation of marine science that is also incorporated into marine policy formulation. Noreen Brennan | PhD Researcher at NUI Galway I found the MEconSc in Natural Resource Economics and Policy to be a thorough, well organised course which covered a range of issues such as resource sustainability, renewable energy and marine resource economics. The courses were interesting and topical and also provided students with lectures from various industry experts and research field leaders throughout the year. The work placement was a fantastic experience, allowing me to work with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland. This, as well as the course work and research conducted through my dissertation enabled me to pursue a PhD in environmental economics. Gavin Landgraf | Second Lieutenant - US Marine Corps In 2015, the US-Ireland Alliance offered me a George J. Mitchell Scholarship to study for a year in Ireland. As a student of economics, I chose NUIG for my studies specifically because of its M. Sc. in Natural Resource Economics and Policy. NUIG’s program stood out among other postgraduate economics programs because of its particular focus on environmental and natural resource economics. The course is remarkably strong in its quantitative training. In the fall, students complete rigorous modules in econometrics and statistics, learning skills which they are then required to put into practice in the spring. I found it easy to develop strong working relationships with my lecturers, one of whom arranged a summer placement for me at the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI) in Dublin. At ESRI, I am working on a project with one of Ireland’s top environmental economists to value two salmon fisheries on the West Coast. My dissertation, which is based on the project, will be presented to a government client and published in an academic journal. Ed Knapp | PhD Researcher at NUI Galway I truly enjoyed my year in the Natural Resource Economics Programme at NUI Galway. I had the opportunity to work closely with instructors from the University and external research centres, gain student teaching experience and work in paid research placements. After completing this programme I was offered a position with a Galway consulting firm, but ultimately chose to begin a PhD fellowship in Galway. Other students in our class have gone on to positions in the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Public expenditure and Reform. I strongly recommend Galway to prospective students. NUI Galway is a particularly welcoming and valuable experience for international students like myself. Mohit Agrawal | Ph.D. Candidate in Economics, Yale University As a Master’s student in Economics, I was impressed by NUI Galway’s students, faculty, and facilities. The program size was small, allowing me to learn from and become friends with my fellow students in a collegial atmosphere. The faculty were fully dedicated to students, easy to talk to, and well-versed in their fields. Meanwhile, the facilities at NUI Galway were top-notch, with great computer labs, libraries, and social spaces. Lastly, I enjoyed living in Galway, with its historic city center and scenic seaside promenade; Galway was a perfect launching pad for trips across Ireland and Europe. During my time in Galway, I gained a unique understanding of economic policy in the context of Ireland and the Eurozone. I strongly encourage international students to consider study at NUI Galway.

Nua-Ghaeilge [Modern Irish] (MA) Expand all Course Overview Is ar an Luan agus ar an Máirt a bheidh léachtaí an chúrsa lánaimseartha ar siúl. Is ar an Luan amháin a reáchtálfar an cúrsa páirtaimseartha. Forléargas ar an gCúrsa An bhfuil fonn ort ardcháilíocht a bhaint amach i Léann na Gaeilge? An bhfuil suim agat breis scileanna taighde, anailíse agus cur i láthair a fhorbairt? An bhfuil tú ag smaoineamh ar thaighde a dhéanamh ag leibhéal na dochtúireachta amach anseo? Má tá, b’fhéidir gurb é an MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge an cúrsa duitse. Is í Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh an ceannródaí náisiúnta ó thaobh Léann na Gaeilge. Tá saineolas ag foireann Roinn na Gaeilge ar gach tréimhse de chuid na Gaeilge, ón luath-thréimhse go dtí an teanga chomhaimseartha. Tá áiseanna taighde den scoth ag an ollscoil agus rinneadh infheistíocht mhór le déanaí i gcartlanna na hollscoile, rud a thugann buntáiste ar leith don mhac léinn ar mian leis/léi taighde a dhéanamh sna bailiúcháin Ghaeilge atá againn. Tá an Ghaeltacht ar leac an dorais againn agus tá teacht ag na mic léinn ar áiseanna foghlama agus taighde den scoth sna campais Ghaeltachta atá ag an ollscoil i gConamara agus i nGaoth Dobhair. Má dhéanann tú an cúrsa lánaimseartha (bliain amháin), beidh léachtaí agus seimineáir ar siúl dhá lá sa tseachtain. Is féidir an cúrsa a dhéanamh go páirtaimseartha chomh maith (thar dhá bhliain) agus beidh léachtaí agat lá amháin sa tseachtain sa chás sin. Agus an cúrsa seo críochnaithe agat, beidh tú in ann: - Feidhmiú go cruinn ag leibhéal gairmiúil agus acadúil trí mheán na Gaeilge sa scríbhneoireacht agus sa labhairt; - Anailís chriticiúil a dhéanamh ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann comhaimseartha na Gaeilge: an Chritic Liteartha, an Chritic Chultúir agus Shóisialta agus an tSochtheangeolaíocht; - Cur chuige idirdhisciplíneach a léiriú san anailís chriticiúil ar réimsí éagsúla de Léann na Gaeilge; - Do chuid taighde agus anailíse a chur i láthair go cumasach agus go héifeachtach ag an leibhéal cuí acadúil; - Taighde nuálach, neamhspleách a dhéanamh ar shainábhar de do rogha féin agus an taighde sin a léiriú i bhfoirm tráchtais. Baineann na torthaí foghlama céanna leis an Dioplóma Iarchéime seachas nach bhfuil taighde neamhspleách i bhfoirm tráchtais le déanamh.

I mo shaol gairmiúil mar iriseoir is gá scagadh agus póirseáil a dhéanamh ar eolas. Go minic, is gá an t-eolas atá ar leas an phobail a aithint, a scaradh ó eolas eile agus a chur in iúl don ghnáthdhuine ar shlí atá sothuigthe. Tairbhe as cuimse a bhí san MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge chun mo chuid scileanna teanga agus anailíse a fhorbairt. Ba luachmhar an taithí chomh maith gur leagadh béim ar scileanna cur i láthair mar chuid den Mháistreacht. Ailbhe Nic Giolla Chomhaill | Mac Léinn PhD Thug mise faoin MA sa Nua-Ghaeilge sa bhliain 2012. Bhí mé díreach tar éis BA a bhaint amach agus ní raibh mé iomlán cinnte cén treo ina rachainn ó thaobh gairm bheatha de. Thug an MA deis dom modúil a roghnú a bhí an-éagsúil óna chéile ach a chuir ar mo chumas scileanna anailíse luachmhara a fhorbairt agus tuiscint den scoth a fháil ar litríocht agus ar chultúr na Gaeilge. Spreag an cúrsa seo dúil mhór sa taighde ionam agus shocraigh mé leanúint den taighde agus tabhairt faoi dhochtúireacht in Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh. Ní fhéadfainn tabhairt faoin dúshlán sin gan na scileanna teanga, scríbhneoireachta agus cur i láthair a d’fhoghlaim mé le linn na máistreachta. Amanda Bernhardt & Seanchán Ó Cinnéide | Massachusetts Tugadh an deis don bheirt againn an MA i Nua-Ghaeilge a dhéanamh sa bhliain 2012. Le deontas ón Choimisiún Fulbright, bhí muid in ann bogadh go Gaillimh agus tabhairt faoin iarchéim le chéile. I dtús báire, mar Mheiriceánaigh ba dhúshlán mór é na cúrsaí a dhéanamh ag leibhéal chomh hard sin os rud é nach raibh an cúlra teanga céanna againne agus a bhí ag na mic léinn eile. Thug foireann Roinn na Gaeilge neart tacaíochta dúinn, áfach, agus tá muid thar a bheith buíoch díobh uilig. Ní amháin gur saineolaithe amach is amach iad sna hábhair atá á dteagasc acu, múinteoirí agus daoine den scoth atá iontu fosta. Anois, agus muid ar ais sna Stáit, bíonn muid ag teagasc na Gaeilge sna coláistí áitiúla agus ag stiúradh comhráite beo i nGaeilge ar líne. Bhí taithí ar dóigh againn i nGaillimh.
