University of Galway Study Abroad Program
Galway, located on the west coast of Ireland, is the fastest-growing city in Ireland. It is renowned for its vibrant lifestyle and numerous festivals and celebrations. Due to prevailing North Atlantic winds, the climate is mild, moist and temperate year-round.
The University of Galway program has a strong research and education program in biomechanics and biomedical engineering. We recommend students focused on the mechanical side of biomedical engineering consider this opportunity.
Weldon School students may participate in this program only in the fall of their senior year. You will complete your senior design project while at University of Galway, as well as take technical electives, life science electives, and/or general education courses.
An email will be sent to Weldon School students directing you to apply late-fall semester each year. Visit Purdue's University of Galway Program Details page for more information.
