The university was founded in 1845 as “Queen’s College, Galway”. It was known as “University College, Galway” (UCG) (Irish: Coláiste na hOllscoile, Gaillimh), until 1997 and as “National University of Ireland, Galway” (NUI Galway) (Irish: Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh; OÉ Gaillimh), until 2022. In late April 2022, it was announced that NUI Galway would be renamed “Ollscoil na Gaillimhe – University of Galway” in summer 2022, amid confusion over its proper title.
University of Galway is a member of the Coimbra Group, a network of 40 long-established European universities.
