University of Galway is inviting prospective students to explore their next academic or professional step at its upcoming Postgraduate Open Day. The special showcase takes place on Thursday January 29th, with two sessions from 12–2pm and 5–7pm, which are open to current students and the public, on campus in the Bailey Allen Hall. The Open Day will provide information on more than 160 full-time and part-time postgraduate programmes, including taught and research master’s degrees and PhD options. The event will also include information on flexible online and blended learning courses, supporting learners at different stages of their careers. Visitors will have the opportunity to speak directly with academic staff, current postgraduate students and professional services teams. Information will be available on course content, entry requirements, career pathways, funding options and the application process.             Caroline Duggan, Head of Undergraduate and Postgraduate Recruitment at University of Galway, said: “Postgraduate study can be a powerful step, whether you are progressing directly from undergraduate education or returning to university to upskill or change direction. Our programmes are designed to provide specialised knowledge, practical experience through placements and internships, and the skills graduates need to succeed in a rapidly evolving global workforce.” University of Galway offers postgraduate programmes across a range of disciplines, including Arts and Humanities, Business, Law, Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Medicine, Health Sciences, and Nursing. Information on scholarships and funding will be available on the day, including the University’s €1,500 Taught Master’s Scholarship for EU students who achieve a first-class honours degree at undergraduate level.
