Galway Business School (GBS) and Galway Cultural Institute (GCI) are private educational institutions, not public universities. GBS focuses on business and professional programs, offering courses like accounting, marketing, and HR. GCI specializes in language training and cultural immersion programs, catering primarily to international students.
Both institutions operate independently, without government funding, and are known for their practical, industry-aligned curricula. Unlike public universities, they do not grant state-recognized degrees but may offer diplomas or certifications in collaboration with accrediting bodies. Their private status allows flexibility in course design and admission policies.
