Archaeology Field School Academic Credit

Academic Credit – Caherconnell Archaeological Field School

Academic Director: Dr Michelle Comber, Department of Archaeology, NUI, Galway

Courses are open to everyone, however some attendees may be interested in acquiring academic credit whilst completing their field school course. Academic Credit is provided by the National University of Ireland at Galway (NUI, Galway) with whom the school has a formal link.

The courses offered by the Caherconnell Archaeology Field School are accredited by the National University of Ireland, Galway. The National University of Ireland does not offer programmes equivalent to the US lower division, all NUI courses and programmes – including those of its field schools – are the equivalent of the US upper division, being aimed at advanced degree students and postgraduates.

Students seeking academic credit will be asked to attend all Field School sessions, complete an assessment during the course of their stay (a daily Learner’s Journal), and provide relevant details of their home institution. Upon successful completion of a course, transcripts of academic credit will be sent from NUI, Galway to the home institution and a copy to the student’s home address.

Those seeking academic credit from NUI Galway will be subject to a nominal fee for the transfer of academic credits. This is not included in the tuition fee charged by the field school.
