A highlight of the evening will be the talk - The A–Z of a PhD at University of Galway - at 5pm, providing invaluable guidance for anyone looking to undertake a PhD.

Information on scholarships and funding opportunities will also be available, including the €1,500 Taught Master’s Scholarship for EU students who achieve first-class honours in their undergraduate degree, and the Máistir Gairmiúil san Oideachas (MGO) - the Professional Master of Education bursary, which provides €2,000 per year to all student teachers on the two-year programme.
