In-Sessional English for Academic Purposes (EAP) Workshops

Build your confidence. Strengthen your academic English. Get recognised.

University study involves much more than writing essays. You need to communicate your ideas clearly, contribute to discussions, give presentations, work with others and write in a way that has an impact.

Our In-Sessional EAP courses are designed to help you develop the English and academic communication skills you need to succeed at University of Galway while giving you the opportunity to gain recognition for your development.
