Special Entrance Maths Examination for Admission SEPTEMBER 2013

The College of Engineering and Informatics at NUI Galway will hold its Special Entrance Examination in Mathematics in August 2013 (date to be decided). A pass in this examination fulfills the Maths entry requirement for our Engineering and IT programmes. (As an alternative to the leaving certificate Mathematics requirement HC3 for BE programmes or HD3/OB3 for the BSc in Computer Science & IT or Project and Construction Management). 

Application forms will be available on August 1st 2013.

It is recommended that students sitting the special maths exam familiarise themselves with past exam papers as early as possible, as the layout and content of the papers can differ significantly to those of the leaving certificate.

In advance of the examination, the University will be holding an INTENSIVE PREPARATORY COURSE for applicants intending to sit this examination. The course will run for five days in August. As well as preparing students for the special examination, lecturers will demonstrate the significant relevance of mathematics across the engineering programmes and will highlight the applicability of mathematics to some illustrative engineering examples.
