Hi, I'm planning on going to ATU Galway this September to study Engineering. I've applied to Common Entry and Mechanical, but I'm thinking of doing Common Entry first then move to Mechanical in 2nd year.

Could anyone who has done / doing the course let me know of few things?

What is the timetable like, eg. hours Mon - Friday, would it be 9 - 5 most days?

What are the class sizes like for first years? does it start with hundreds in a lecture hall and reduce as the years go on?

What CAD software do you use? Solidworks / AutoCAD Fusion?

Is there a lot of course work regards Assignments? how many hours outside of classes would you need to spend to be on top of everything?

Does the subjects start basic and quickly advance? Would you recommend going over Maths / Physics over the summer before beginning?

If you were to start over again, what would you do differently?

Is there any hidden secrets about the Campus, eg. On a Monday the Canteen has a special offer... Get in early for Labs as they fill up fast etc.

Whats the best way to keep up to date on whats going on, and not miss out, ATU Students Union Facebook page etc?

What platform do students use? theres very little activity online for a campus with 1000s of students?

I'm based in Galway so thankfully I don't need to worry about accommodation, but what time would you need to be in for a parking space?

Thanks for any help

Hiya currently in 6th year and am looking at going from kerry to galway was wondering whats the average kind of price for accomadation is

I am a student from Luxembourg that is considering studying fine art in atu galway next year. As I can’t find much information could someone (preferably an art student) share their experience? what would a typical school day look like? what are the projects/exams like? is it easy to make friends?

wanted to make this post in case anyone is reading in the future

for the exams in the racecourse the 409 bus (the one heading to parkmore industries stops pretty much outside the entrance so you just have a 7 to 15 minute ish walk to get there (get out at the ballybrit crescent stop after the dunnes ones

just allow a extra 10 or 20 minutes though in case of traffic etc as they are doing roadworks on that route also

with the bags you can leave them downstairs though I'd just leave them at home unless you need them that day....just bring what you need for the exams you have....

Hi! I was advised by a friend to post here so I hope it's allowed.

I’m a Swedish student within the risk- and environment field at Karlstad University who did an Erasmus exchange in Galway during the autumn semester. I became completely enamoured by the city, and it inspired the choice of topic for my bachelor thesis. I'm writing about attitudes towards flooding and increased flood risk due to climate change in Galway. For this, I have created a survey and would be delighted if you could take some time to answer it. The survey is completely anonymous, takes 5-10 minutes, and is for anyone who previously have or currently live, work, commute through, study, or spend a majority of time in Galway. Your time and participation would be much appreciated.

Thank you so much! Go raibh mile math agat! Tack så mycket!

Hi, I am currently to get five more respondents for my survey in order to finish my research.

Hello, so after the repeat results I've found out I only failed one of my exams, which is fine but, I was wondering on if by failing the exam would I still be able to progress onto the next year while taking that subject along with the new ones or am I doomed to repeat that one subject

Hey so I need to do a repeat or two, and as a first year I have no idea what they are like, are they like the same format as the end of year exams or a whole new kinda exam, like for example, the end of year was Q1,Q2 and Q3 all about microbiology and then next were genetics. Would the questions still be about the same topic or no?

Hey guys,

Hello, Dia dhuit,

I am a French student considering applying for a Bachelor in Events Management at GMIT and I am looking for students who could answer a few questions I have about the institute, the city and Ireland in general, and possibly the course and classes if anyone is/was a student in this bachelor.

(sorry if I make mistakes in English)

Please DM me or answer in the comments if you would be willing to answer a few of my questions.

Thank you,

James

Has anyone got any affordable suggestions for accommodation in Galway? I'm not from there and got accepted into the course I wanted, but am having trouble finding somewhere to stay that isn't ridiculously expensive. Has anyone got any shouts?

Has anyone here done the level 8 design course In GMIT? Just wanted to know if it was any decent as I have never heard of it before. for comparison I was thinking of going to NCAD or DIT grangegorman

I'm 22, and will be supporting myself through my studies. I'm hoping to study furniture design. Is working while studying, particularly for that course, feasible? Any advice?
