Selamat datang ke bumi Galway ^^

Assalamualaikum adik-adik. Ada yang ditawarkan ke National University of Ireland, Galway? Kalau adik ditawarkan ke universiti ini, jangan risau dan cuak! Pengalaman dan pembelajaran di sini sangat menyeronokkan dan menarik.

NUI Galway

Galway, merupakan bandar ketiga terbesar di Ireland selepas Dublin dan Cork. Bandarnya kecil dan cukup mendamaikan. Permandangan semulajadi yang cantik dan tenang di Galway menjadikan NUI Galway, satu tempat yang kondusif untuk belajar dan hidup sebagai pelajar.Malah, Corrib River yang mengalir tenang di kawasan universiti, ditambah pula dengan kehadiran swan putih menjadikan pemandangan di sini cukup mempesonakan. Penduduk-penduduk di sini juga cukup terkenal dengan keramahan mereka terutamanya golongan tua. Begitu juga dengan para pelajar dan pensyarah-pensyarah di sini. Mereka sentiasa bersedia untuk membantu dan menghulurkan pertolongan jika kita memerlukan. Pelajar-pelajar di sini diberikan kemudahan menaiki bas yang disediakan ‘student accommodation’ , atau berjalan kaki untuk ke universiti. Everything is in walking distance in Galway, 

Jika adik-adik mahu merehatkan minda selepas sibuk belajar pada waktu pagi, pantai Salthill yang mendamaikan sedia menanti. Hanya mengambil masa 20-25 minit dari Dunaras dengan berjalan kaki, pantai Salthill tidak pernah menghampakan sesiapa saja yang memandangnya.

Kehidupan pelajar-pelajar di sini juga ringkas dan kos hidup juga rendah. Adik-adik pasti dapat berjimat dan menyimpan wang kerana kos hidup yang rendah di sini. Hubungan sesama pelajar-pelajar Malaysia juga sangat rapat ibarat sebuah keluarga . Jika berjumpa di mana-mana, pasti akan bertegur sapa, atau sekurang-kurangnya bertukar senyuman 

Untuk tahun pertama, semester 1 pengajian , adik2 akan didedahkan kepada subjek:

1. Anatomy
2. Physiology
3. Bichemistry
4. Pharmacology
5. Professionalism 1.1

Manakala pada tahun pertama, semester ke-2 pengajian, adik2 akan didedahkan kepada subjek:

1. Cardiovascular system
2. Respiratory system
3. Renal system
4. Gastrointestinal system
5. Human nutrition
6. Professionalism 1.2

Belajar di Galway pula memerlukan adik-adik untuk belajar secara konsisten sejak dari tahun pertama lagi. Ini kerana, markah bagi setiap peperiksaan akan dibawa hingga ke tahun akhir. Pembahagian peratusan mengikut tahun adalah seperti berikut:

Tahun 1=10%

Tahun 2=10%

Tahun 3=20%

Tahun 4=30%

Tahun 5=30%

Oleh itu, adik-adik perlu belajar konsisten dan bersungguh-sungguh sejak tahun pertama lagi untuk memastikan keputusan yang cemerlang apabila mendapat ijazah kelak. Pembelajaran di sini lebih bervariasi dan lebih intergrated. Sejak tahun pertama lagi, adik-adik berpeluang untuk dissect mayat. Setiap minggu adik-adik akan masuk ke dissection room dua kali, 2 jam setiap sesi. Oleh itu, adik-adik akan lebih memahami apa yang adik-adik belajar di dewan kuliah. Namun, mungkin adik-adik akan merasa agak susah pada permulaan untuk mengingati nama-nama bahagian badan, tapi insyaAllah lama-kelamaan, ia akan menjadi lebih senang. Kan, setiap kesulitan tu akan diiringi kesenangan. Ingat janji Allah. Modul pembelajaran pada semester pertama agak padat berbanding semester kedua pada tahun pertama, namun, itu tidak bermakna adik-adik tidak sempat untuk menyertai apa-apa aktiviti yang diadakan di Galway. Insya Allah, banyak aktiviti-aktiviti yang dianjurkan di sini untuk mengeratkan hubungan sesama kita di sini. Pasti pengalaman hidup di sini sangat menyeronokkan.

InsyaAllah, hidup sebagai pelajar di Galway akan menjadikan adik-adik manusia yang lebih baik dan doktor yang hebat. InsyaAllah.

Selamat datang dan menjadi ahli keluarga GALWAY!!! (^_^)
