NUI MAYNOOTH
About the University
The National University of Ireland, Maynooth is a dynamic
and innovative university of 5,500 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.
NUI Maynooth welcomes mature applicants and encourages their pursuit of study at
the University. It appreciates that many people might have left school early, or were
unable to achieve their full potential in education due to financial, social or family
pressures. Over the intervening years circumstances change and the opportunity
to return to study now presents itself. The University believes that the particular
contribution of mature students to the academic and social environment of the
University is a valuable and beneficial asset. A substantial number are accepted each
year.
