National University of Ireland, Maynooth is one
of four constituent universities of the federal
National University of Ireland. It traces its origins
to the foundation of St Patrick's College,
Maynooth in 1795 and is Ireland's second oldest
university. NUI Maynooth has a longstanding
international reputation for learning and academic
excellence in the sciences, social sciences and
humanities. Its reputation for research is growing
rapidly and today there are several internationally
recognised research centres located on campus.
NUI Maynooth (www.nuim.ie)is a dynamic and innovative university
of some 7000 students. It is situated 25km west of Dublin and located
in Ireland's only university town. Maynooth combines the historical
legacy of its medieval origins with a present day location on the fringes
of Dublin. The NUI Maynooth campus is adjacent to the Irish and
European headquarters of many multi-national high technology
companies. Regular bus and rail services link Maynooth town to
Ireland's capital. NUI Maynooth offers a student-friendly environment
providing world-class teaching, research facilities and courses, while
still retaining a uniquely friendly and personal atmosphere.
At NUI Maynooth we are embracing the challenge of delivering
world-class postgraduate education programmes, and in 2006 we
established three new Faculty-based graduate schools in Arts,
Philosophy and Celtic Studies; Social Sciences; Science and
Engineering. We have built on our traditional areas of academic
strength to create a number of innovative and internationallyrecognised
research centres in areas such as Irish Cultural and
Historical Traditions, Geocomputation, Immunology, Applied
mathematics of complex systems (Hamilton Institute), and Regional
Planning and Spatial Analysis. These research centres complement
and extend the excellent research and teaching carried out in
academic departments and disciplines which span the Arts,
Humanities and Sciences and Engineering.
Within this diverse system we have developed an extensive range of postgraduate degrees, including doctoral research programmes, taught and research masters degree courses and postgraduate diploma programmes. Full details of all courses can be found on our website at graduatestudies.nuim.ie.
