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.

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.
