Why come to NUI Galway to study Mathematical Science?
| Lecturers in the School of Maths have expertise in many different and interesting aspects of mathematics. You will receive a well rounded education in traditional mathematics, but will also be afforded the opportunity to explore the interplay between mathematics and other subject areas, such as physics, chemistry, biology, computer science and finance. |
|
A particularly exciting recent development has been the explosion of the use of mathematics in the study of biological problems, for example, in genetics, the treatment of cancer and heart disease, the spread of diseases, and many other areas. You will be introduced to some of these exciting developments in this course.

In the School of Maths at NUI Galway, we care very much about
students' transition to university level
mathematics and about their subsequent development in the subject.
Our
commitment to excellence is acknowledged here at NUI Galway, with
members of staff receiving
the President's
Award for Teaching Excellence in three
consecutive years.
At National Level, this year Dr Aisling McCluskey was one of five winners of the highly prestigious NAIRTL National Award for Excellence in Teaching. This scheme spans 38 higher education institutions in Ireland and crosses all disciplines. |

In your final year project, you will apply the knowledge and insight that you have gained over the previous three years to tackle a problem based on modern mathematical research. Through the process of problem-based learning you will discover the techniques of doing research in the mathematical sciences, develop your presentation and report writing skills and, most importantly, gain confidence as a professional mathematician. |

Ranked as one of the 25 top destinations to visit in Europe by Trip Advisor, and only one of two Irish cities to feature in the list, Galway has simply got it all. Galway is a cultural centre, attracting thousands to the many events throughout the year: from Literature and the Arts, to Races and oysters, Galway is a festival city. The strong links between the city and university are exemplified by the level of engagement our students have with the cultural life of Galway. Many were among the thousands of volunteers that made the Galway stage of the 2009 Volvo Ocean Race such a success. |
