About Maynooth University
Maynooth University is an internationally recognised institution located 25 kilometres outside of Dublin, Ireland, and is the nation’s fastest growing university. One of four constituent universities of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth University in 2021 placed #88 in the global top 100 universities under 50 years old in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings. Today, Maynooth University is a place of lively contrasts–a modern institution, dynamic, rapidly-growing, research-led and engaged, yet grounded in historic academic strengths and scholarly traditions.
Maynooth’s unique collegial culture fosters an interdisciplinary approach to research, which its world-class academics bring to bear in tackling some of the most fundamental challenges facing society today. The University’s research institutes and centres consolidate and deliver this impact as vibrant communities of learning, discovery and creation. Research at Maynooth also is very much central to its teaching, and the University prides itself on placing equal value on its research and teaching missions.
Why Maynooth University:
- World-Class Education: In addition to being named in the Times Higher Education's Top 100 Under 50, Maynooth University is recognised among the top 350 universities in the world, the top 200 European universities, and as one of the top 200 universities for international connections and outlook.
- 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.
