University of Galway is inviting prospective students, parents, guidance counsellors and teachers to the university campus for its upcoming undergraduate open day on Saturday.

The open day on 9 March 9 from 9am to 3pm is a great opportunity for Leaving Certificate, Fifth Year and TY students to gain valuable insights into courses and future careers.

With special interactive events, the open day offers hands-on experiences of some of the most innovative teaching and learning facilities.

The University offers more than 60 internationally recognised undergraduate degree courses, and more than 90% of courses offer students a work placement and/or study abroad opportunity.

The open day is spread across five exhibition zones and the schedule includes a large programme of talks with more than 60 course, subject, career and student support talks on offer.

A special feature of this open day will be exclusive access to some of the University’s most innovative teaching and learning facilities and hands-on experiences.

The open day schedule includes a series of information that will help students and parents prepare for college life with talks on Student Life, Sport, and Study Abroad.

The Access Centre will host sessions on alternative pathways, mature student supports and the QQI/FETAC/PLC entry route.

Parents are invited to attend a Parents’ Talk taking place on at 11.30am with advice and guidance on how parents can support the progression to third level.

Advance registration is required, with further information and the full programme available at www.universityofgalway.ie/opendays, or by emailing opendays@universityofgalway.ie.
