NUI GALWAY
About the University
There has been a growing interest within many sectors of
society in recent years in returning to formal study programmes
following periods in employment, unemployment or in the
home. Those interested in resuming a disrupted education, in
developing new employment opportunities or those seeking
to awaken their intellectual interests, can meet these needs
in an environment which is stimulating academically and socially, when they join a
University programme.
Recognising the importance of this trend, NUI, Galway welcomes applications on
grounds of Mature Years from EU Nationals or from those who have lived for at least
three of the previous five years in an EU member state. A quota of places is reserved
each year in the Faculties of Arts (15%), Commerce (10%), Science (10%), Engineering
(10%) and Law (10%) whilst in the University’s Centre for Nursing Studies 15% of
places in General Nursing, 40% of places in Psychiatric Nursing and 20% of places in
Midwifery are reserved for mature students.
