Following her gradutation, in the year of 1931, Margaret Heavey became a lecturer at UCG, short for University College Galway, which today is known as NUI Galway. During the first years of her career, Margaret Heavey lectured about Latin and Greek through Irish. A few years later, in 1958, Margaret became Professor of Ancient Classics, through which she could share her passion for classics with her students. As a teacher, Professor Heavey would be both supportive and helpful to the students she considered deserved it, which included ambitous and dedicated students willing to make efforts within their students. On the occasion that students were not being diligent, she would be straightforwards towards them, asking them to not waste her time, as, according to her, spending time teaching them was not necessary, as they were not making efforts to success in their studies.
