A Certificate of Completion in Irish Studies will be awarded by Regis University to students who successfully complete four of the five courses. Students completing five courses will be awarded a Diploma in Irish Studies from NUIG.

Through an articulation arrangement, Regis University will recognize these courses as residency courses within a Regis degree plan, allowing students to apply credits earned to a Bachelor's degree in many subject areas.
