PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY<br />
ST PATRICK’S COLLEGE - MAYNOOTH<br />
About the Institute<br />
St Patrick’s College Maynooth opened its doors as an<br />
educational institution in 1795 and, over the intervening two<br />
centuries, it has established for itself an impressive reputation<br />
for scholarship and learning. In 1896 the Pontifical Charter<br />
empowered the College to confer degrees in Theology,<br />
Philosophy and Canon Law.<br />
With just under 400 students registered in the college, making it the smallest<br />
university in the country, the Pontifical <strong>University</strong> shares the same campus as the<br />
National <strong>University</strong> of Ireland, Maynooth. Situated 25km west of <strong>Dublin</strong> in North Co.<br />
Kildare, the campus is close to the borders of <strong>Dublin</strong> and Meath. Today it preserves<br />
much of the rural ambience and provides easy access to large tracts of peaceful<br />
countryside. At the same time it is close to the high-technology industrial parks on<br />
the western edge of <strong>Dublin</strong> city. It is home to a vibrant local community and offers<br />
students abundant opportunities to enjoy a busy and varied social life.<br />
