NUI Galway to host Spring Open Day

NUI Galway will hold its second Spring Open Day for students considering applying or those who have already applied to the university, and for their parents or guardians.

The event will be held on Saturday April 24, from 10am to 3pm, at the NUI Galway Campus. The inaugural Spring Open Day took place last year and over 3,000 students and their parents registered on the day.

Lecturers and students will be on hand to provide information on a full range of programmes offered, as well as practical issues such as university accommodation, scholarships, and general support services available to students. Student ambassadors will also be on hand to answer all queries about student life at NUI Galway.

A programme of taster sessions will also run throughout the day, including demos with the latest gadgets including Xbox and Lego Mindstorm kits at interactive Science Experience workshops. Also highly recommended are the ‘Student Life’ talk and the ’Focus on your Career’ talk.

The range of courses available at NUI Galway is vast and varied and many are unique to the university, including a new BE in Energy Systems Engineering and Engineering Innovation - Electronic.

With a radical departure from traditional arts degrees, BA Connect offers eight four-year degrees designed to increase the employability of graduates. A new BA Connect degree in Latin American Studies is being offered for 2010.

Tours of the campus on the day will give an insight into university life, and the top class facilities offered at NUI Galway, including the €22 million sports complex. Tours of student accommodation will also be available to visitors on the day.
