Ollscoil dhátheangach atá inti, agus tá campais aici i gcúig chontae in iarthar na hÉireann, Dún na nGall, Sligeach, Maigh Eo, an Clár, agus an príomhchampas i nGaillimh. Tá sí rangaithe ar an ollscoil is fearr in Éirinn don fhorbairt inbhuanaithe i Ranguithe Domhanda Times Higher Education (THE) agus ní i mbarr feabhais sa teagasc agus san oideachas amháin atá tionchar á imirt againn; tá curtha romhainn againn an domhan a athrú chun feabhais.

Beidh an t-iarrthóir eiseamláireach an-tiomanta don Ollscoil, dá misean, dá cuid luachanna, agus dá cuid spriocanna, agus beidh na cáilíochtaí ceannaireachta ag an té sin atá riachtanach chun barr feabhais agus tionchar taighde agus oideachais a bhrú chun cinn, agus chun ár gclú náisiúnta agus domhanda a neartú. Ceannaire spreagúil a bheidh sa té sin, a bheidh in ann meas agus rannpháirtíocht a chothú i measc phobal na hollscoile trí chéile, comhaltaí foirne, mic léinn, alumni agus comhpháirtithe seachtracha san áireamh.

Tá Ollscoil na Gaillimhe tiomanta do chomhionannas deiseanna a chur chun cinn agus do thimpeallacht a chruthú agus a chothú a chuireann luach ar éagsúlacht ár bhfoirne agus ár mac léinn agus a dhéanann ceiliúradh orthu.
