As an actor, students will develop their capacity to bring body, voice, and spirit together in ways both personal and transformative, while exploring plays that range from the classic texts of Shakespeare and Chekhov to exciting new works, both in the classroom and on the stage. As a playwright, students will have the opportunity to continue to develop their own distinctive voice while acquiring a stronger command of dramatic structure and to see their work come to life in readings and workshops with student actors, alumni, and guest artists.

Welcome to Gráinneog Institute!

Everyone knows the story of Thaddeus Thurkell — the man that was so appalled by his seven sons that turned out to be Squibs, that he turned them all into hedgehogs. He’s got a chocolate frog card and everything, but what happened to his seven sons, you ask?

After they were eventually turned back into humans, they left home. Who wouldn’t, after their father turned them all into hedgehogs? They left England, and moved to Galway, Ireland. They settled in and then they got talking. What did they want to do now that they were free from their father’s disapproving grasp?

That was how Gráinneog Institute was founded. Seven majors, for each of the sons’ seven passions: History, Law, Medicine, Mathematics, Engineering, Architecture, Muggle Studies.

Stone by stone, castles were built. It took them years to build up the original nine buildings that make up Gráinneog Institute.

Throughout the years, more buildings have been built to add onto the campus. There is now an athletic center and a student commons. As a university founded by Squibs, they have adapted with the times, with computers in the library and commons, and Muggle technology everywhere.

For more than half of their long history, they only accepted Squibs into their midst, but in the last hundred years, any student willing to learn is now admitted into the school. All programs here are four year programs! It offers the following majors:

• Architecture
• Engineering
• History
• Law
• Mathematics
• Medicine
• Muggle Studies

The following masteries are offered:

Because everyone takes university at their own pace, we are also adding a code that you guys need to use in order to move your character up a year! Pretty much there just isn't a good way to know when every character is ready to move up a term. Some of them are taking classes part time, some full time -- some started in the fall, some started in the winter -- some took summer classes, some don't! Because of that, there's just no good way for us to know when to move them up a year! So if your character has progressed to the next year in their schooling, please post the code below so we can move them up.

Student Moving Up a Year Code:
[b][u]Student Moving Up a Year[/u][/b]
[b]School:[/b]
[b]Character Name:[/b]
[b]Major Moving Up:[/b]
[b]Terms Completed:[/b]

Most of the code is self-explantory but let's take a second to break down the final question. If you're moving a student up a year, they need to have completed a realistic amount of classes to do that! If they're full term, that's just two terms. So for instance, now that school is out for the summer, you could post under Terms: Full Term- Fall 2017, Spring 2018, and that would be enough for them to move up a year. If you have your student being part time, it's sort of more up for interpretation. Maybe you think it would take them three terms to move up one part time, maybe you have them really only taking one or two classes and you think it would take four. As long as it's realistic, go for it, and we will accept it if we agree!

Note that University of Bangor and Lig-na-Paiste Institute of Dragons do not offer summer courses!

@bradley - question! Did he have to take a year off or anything like that? I only ask because being there until 2003 would make him finish in five years, not four. If you meant four than just change it to Spring 2002! Let me know!
