OPEN DAY<br />
The <strong>NUI</strong> <strong>Galway</strong> <strong>Open</strong> <strong>Days</strong> are your opportunity<br />
to experience University life first hand. Come and<br />
talk to our students and staff, explore the campus,<br />
check out the facilities – including our new Sports<br />
Centre – and decide for yourself whether <strong>NUI</strong><br />
<strong>Galway</strong> feels right for you.<br />
Our Friday <strong>Open</strong> Day is aimed at schools and<br />
colleges although individuals are also very welcome<br />
to attend. The Saturday <strong>Open</strong> Day is the event for<br />
you and your family and friends to attend.<br />
Get the most out of your visit<br />
In Áras na Mac Léinn, our Student Centre, you will find the full<br />
range of subject-specific exhibition stands. Here you can talk to our<br />
lecturers and students and find out more about the courses you are<br />
interested in. Our services for students are also represented here.<br />
A programme of taster talks and interactive sessions also runs<br />
throughout the day and is designed to give you a real insight into<br />
University life. We would advise you to start your visit with a<br />
Welcome Talk, and then attend a range of different subject talks,<br />
depending on your interests.<br />
Don’t forget to take a tour of the campus with one of our Student<br />
Ambassadors, and you might want to check out the student<br />
accommodation as well. And a visit to the Sports Centre is a must!<br />
