The AWC is now open. We would love postgraduate students and those who have to do repeat exams to come and see us. We will remain open until 19 July.

To book an appointment, please email Irina.ruppo@universityofgalway.ie 

Priority will be given to students registered with the Disability Support Services, but we will endeavour to see all those who get in touch.   

Our three-day summer course is taking place on 10-12 July. Please register here.
