  • International Community and Opportunities: With over a third of academic staff coming from abroad and many academics and graduates working internationally, Maynooth University has built up a wealth of global connections. This means that students at Maynooth benefit from an international outlook, and those who wish to study abroad for a semester or an academic year during your degree have a network of connections to tap in to. During the course of their academic degree students from Maynooth have studied subjects such as Law at Boston College, Mandarin Chinese at Beijing Foreign Studies University and Music in the University of Vienna.
  • Location: Situated just 25 kilometres west of Dublin city centre, and well serviced by bus and rail routes, Maynooth is Ireland's only university town. Located close to the Irish and European headquarters of many multinational high tech companies, the university continues to forge strong links with industry and is well placed to cater for the growing demand for high quality graduates. 
  • Student Life: Maynooth University has a reputation for being a particularly sociable university - a recent poll of 10,000 third level students voted Maynooth Ireland's friendliest college. Along with the Students’ Union, there are over 100 clubs and societies on campus, providing the lifeblood of student activity. From Archery to the Tea Society, whether students are seeking adventure, fitness, relaxation or fun, there is an active student life waiting.
