Overview

Features:

  • Building on a tradition of scholarship and excellence in all aspects of its Teaching and Learning, and research activities, within the liberal arts and sciences tradition Maynooth University is committed to being a first class research-led centre of learning and academic discovery.
  • Maynooth University is located on a pleasant university campus in Ireland's only university town 20km west of Dublin, and has recently undergone a major phase of expansion in research, teaching and service facilities. The spacious campus is laid out in its own extensive grounds in rural surroundings, and is divided between an older complex of fine nineteenth century buildings and a modern complex of teaching, research, accommodation, and support facilities.

Housing

Maynooth University Accommodation

Please note that on-campus housing is generally guaranteed for students coming in September (Full Year and Fall Term).  However, Maynooth cannot guarantee on-campus housing for their Spring term (i.e., the equivalent to UAlberta's Winter term).  Students may instead have to secure off-campus housing; however, Maynooth Student Services can assist you with this by offering Maynooth Studentpad, an online listing service of rooms and properties for students in Maynooth and the surrounding areas.
