Welcome to National University of Ireland, Maynooth. One of four constituent universities in the federal National University of Ireland system, the University traces its origins directly to the foundation in 1795 of St Patrick's College Maynooth. It is Ireland's second oldest university institution and is located in a town which combines its medieval origins with its present-day status of a modern, dynamic centre on the metropolitan fringe of Dublin, adjacent to the Irish and European headquarters of many multi-national high technology industries. The University has over 8,800 students and a range of disciplines, which include the traditional humanities, music, education, science, computing and electronic engineering.

NUI Maynooth has a reputation for providing a student friendly campus environment with world-class teaching and research facilities. The student body is drawn from all over Ireland and from more than 20 overseas countries. This diversity is enhanced by significant numbers of mature students and dedicated access programme entrants.

NUI Maynooth offers a unique environment for learning, combining the best of its academic and cultural traditions with a modern and innovative approach to teaching and research. I invite you to explore our web pages and to contact the appropriate office or department for further information on the University.

Professor John G. Hughes
President.
