The Life Skills Programme run by the Students’ Union offers a chance to further your development outside of the academic world through classes in areas such as:

Sign Language, First Aid, Self Defence, Financial Resilience, Mental Health Awareness, Gaeilge, Disclosure Training and Pilates Classes.

These classes are provided at a reduced rate giving you a chance to learn a new skill which, in some cases, could save someone’s life. This is also a great chance to broaden your CV.

Please note that classes will only proceed if sufficient numbers of students sign up for same.

These courses are strictly for registered University of Galway students.

Payment must be paid for all courses (where applicable) upon sign-up.

Registration is on a first come, first served basis. Fees, where applicable, must be paid at registration. You can sign up via the online links in the course descriptions.
