NUI Galway secured a renewed Bronze Athena SWAN Award in September 2021, in recognition of the University’s continued progression on gender equality.

The College of Engineering and Informatics was the first school in NUI Galway to apply for departmental accreditation in April 2017. The School of Medicine applied for and achieved departmental accreditation in April 2018, becoming the first School of Medicine to achieve the Athena SWAN Bronze award across the 7 Irish universities. NUI Galway now has 8 departmental Bronze awards: the Schools of Medicine (securing a renewal of their Bronze Award in September 2021), Physics, Cairnes School of Business and Economics, Nursing and Midwifery; Natural Sciences; Psychology; Chemistry; and Mathematics, Statistics and Applied Mathematics.
