SUMS (Support for Undergraduate Mathematics and Statistics)

Welcome to SUMS - the mathematics support centre at NUI Galway

SUMS is a FREE service providing informal mathematics support to first and second year students across all colleges and courses as well as to students engaged in Access/Foundation courses.  Here you can receive extra mathematics or statistics tuition during our online service hours.

You can attend during these hours to use SUMS as a study space – where you can work your own pace with a tutor available if you have any questions. Meet your friends in SUMS to study together!

The SUMS service will operate IN-PERSON AND ONLINE in Semester I, resuming on Tuesday 21st September. You can find more information including tutors on duty on the timetable.
