About Us

NUI Maynooth is a dynamic and innovative university of some 7,000 students from every county in Ireland as well as an increasing number of international students. Situated 25km west of Dublin, it is located in Ireland's only university town, Maynooth, which combines the historical legacy of its medieval origins with a present day location on the fringes of Dublin adjacent to the Irish and European headquarters of many multi-national high technology companies. The spacious campus is laid out in its own extensive grounds in rural surroundings, and is divided between an older complex of fine nineteenth century buildings and a modern complex of teaching, research, accommodation, and support facilities. It offers a student-friendly environment providing world-class teaching and research facilities and courses, while still retaining a uniquely friendly and personal atmosphere

The University has twenty eight departments divided into three Faculties - Arts, Celtic Studies & Philosophy, Social Sciences and Science & Engineering which offer programmes from undergraduate to doctorate levels in a range of disciplines including the traditional humanities, music, education, sciences, social sciences, law, business, accounting, multimedia and engineering. The educational reach of the institution stretches far beyond its physical boundaries, and NUI Maynooth has consistently been to the forefront in the university sector in promoting greater access to education.

The University is committed to providing an environment within which the student can learn, develop and mature. The focus is on ensuring that all students have an experience that will benefit them not just academically, but personally as well, and that the environment is truly student-friendly. The ongoing programme of investment in developing new programmes and courses, and in providing new learning and research facilities, is one part of the equation. Equally important is the ongoing investment in expanding and supporting student social and recreational facilities, and in particular in providing the necessary support for all students throughout their academic career. There are over one hundred active Clubs and Societies with a vibrant Student Centre. In addition there is a wide range of student support services available on campus. You are more than welcome to sample the Maynooth Experience by coming along to our Open Days on Friday 28th or Saturday 29th November 2008, we also have University Days on Saturday 25th April and Saturday 20th June 2009.
