CÉIM
CÉIM is an academic peer learning programme for 1st year Arts students studying Geography, Law, Political Science and Sociology, Psychology and Spanish. Small groups of students meet weekly for 50 minutes throughout the academic year to learn from each other under the guidance of trained 2nd year and 3rd year student leaders, with input from academic staff. Each student is also assigned to a 'Cairde' group within their CÉIM group to further support building connections with fellow students. CÉIM is designed to help students gain a better understanding of complex subject matter in a relaxed atmosphere, quickly adjust to university life, become successful and independent higher education learners and get to know other 1st years and those in higher years. CÉIM sessions are informal and friendly, yet purposeful, with the emphasis on everyone in the group working together. Initiated by University of Galway Students’ Union in 2013, CÉIM is run as a partnership between students, academic staff and the Students’ Union. CÉIM Arts sessions begin the week of 10 October 2022.
