As an international student, studying in a foreign country can be both exciting and challenging. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with studying in a foreign country. That’s why we have established the International Students Society to provide support, resources, and a sense of community for all international students.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a supportive and inclusive community for international students at ATU Galway-Mayo. We aim to provide a platform for cultural exchange, social activities, and academic support, ensuring that every international student feels welcomed and supported throughout their time at the university.

What We Offer

Joining the International Students Society comes with a range of benefits and opportunities. Here’s what we offer:

1. Cultural Exchange:

We believe that cultural exchange is an essential part of the international student experience. Through various events and activities, we encourage students from different backgrounds to come together, share their cultures, and learn from one another.

2. Social Activities:

We organise a range of social activities throughout the academic year, including trips, parties, and cultural events. These activities provide opportunities for international students to make new friends, explore Ireland, and create lifelong memories.

3. Academic Support:

We understand that studying in a foreign language and adapting to a different educational system can be challenging. That’s why we offer support services, including courses and workshops, to help international students succeed.

4. Orientation Programme:

We organise an orientation program at the beginning of each semester to help new international students settle into their new environment. The program includes campus tours, information sessions, and social events, allowing students to familiarise themselves with the university and meet fellow international students.

5. Networking Opportunities:

We facilitate networking opportunities for international students to connect with alumni, professionals, and employers. These connections can be valuable for career development and future job opportunities.
