Galois theory is a part of field theory in abstract algebra. Most students do not see this until grad school. Most of the instruction at this level is proofs. There are application problems dealing with Galois theory, but you do proofs to show the answers. For instance you may be finding out what group your Galois group is isomorphic to, this requires a proof. A Galois group is the group of automorphisms on a field extension (which is a Galois extension) with the base field fixed.

If you are afraid of proofs, don't take Galois Theory.
