Lectures & Timetables

Lectures and Timetables

Our undergraduate degree programmes are delivered through face-to-face teaching, with lecture on site at our campus located at GCI House in Salthill supported by activities, readings and assignments available on Moodle, our virtual learning environment.

You can study with us full-time during the day or part-time in the evenings. Both modes lead to the same award and follow the same academic standards, the difference is in the pace and the schedule.

Full-time delivery

Full-time students attend classes four days a week, Monday to Thursday, with sessions running from 1.00pm to 5.00pm. This timetable suits students who want to combine their studies with part-time work in the mornings, family responsibilities, or simply a more measured rhythm to the week.

Alongside scheduled lectures, you will take part in workshops, tutorials and demonstrations across the semester. These are designed to deepen your understanding of the coursework and give you space to apply what you are learning in a practical setting.

Part-time delivery

Part-time students attend classes two evenings a week, from 6.30pm to 10.00pm during the academic year. Like the full-time programme, the part-time route is delivered through blended learning, face-to-face lectures alongside online materials and activities you can fit around your working week.

This mode is well suited to learners in employment or with caring responsibilities who want to study for a recognised honours degree without stepping back from work. 

Please note part-time study is not possible for visa requiring students under Irish immigration laws. 

Additional sessions

From time to time you may be asked to attend tutorials, workshops or guest sessions on a Friday or Saturday. These are scheduled in advance and you will always receive notice from the GBS Academic Manager  through Moodle and email.

Accessing your timetable

You will receive your semester timetable at orientation, along with a walk-through of how to read it. Throughout the year, the most up-to-date version of your timetable is available on Moodle and through your Student Portal account. If a class needs to be rescheduled, for a bank holiday, for example, or in response to a lecturer's availability — you will be notified by email and the change will be reflected on the online timetable.

January intake students

If you join us in January, your studies begin with Semester Two of Year One. You will progress through Semester One in the following autumn, joining the September cohort for Year Two onwards. Some January intake students continue with module work over the summer where class size and programme demand allow.

Questions about your timetable?

If you need to discuss your schedule, or if you have a particular requirement that affects when you can attend, please get in touch with GBS Academic Manager, we will do our best to work with you.
