CÉIM – Weekly peer learning for 1st year Law students

CÉIM is an academic peer learning programme for all 1st year Law students and is a joint initiative of the School of Law and the Students’ Union. You will meet weekly in small discipline-specific groups for 50 minutes throughout the academic year to learn from each other under the guidance of trained higher year Law student leaders, with input from academic staff. Designed to complement your lectures and tutorials, CÉIM helps you gain a better understanding of your coursework in a relaxed atmosphere, adjust quickly to life at University of Galway, become a successful higher education learner and get to know other students in your course. Research shows that students who attend CÉIM regularly achieve higher grades on average than those who do not.

CÉIM sessions are welcoming and friendly, yet purposeful, with the emphasis on everyone in the group working together.

How to take part

CÉIM Law sessions start the week of 2 October. In late September, log into YourSpace and click on CÉIM in the left menu to see all relevant information about your CÉIM group.
