The University’s international coordinators help students gain access to more than 200 global universities across five major continents.
Services
International orientation takes place a week before lectures begin and is designed to introduce students to life at the University and to each other. It includes various workshops and talks, campus tours and introductions to clubs and societies. The Student Buddy Network, run by the International Office, provides guidance, advice and help to new students.
A free writing centre at Maynooth helps students during each course year, while Student Plus, a skill development course, enables them to learn more effectively. Students lead a very active life at the Maynooth campus (voted as Ireland’s friendliest college in a recent poll of 10,000 students) with its 100+ clubs and societies for pursuing activities of one’s interests. The large and small sports halls, which include a fitness centre and free weights room, allow Maynooth students to seek fitness and physical recreation.
Its state-of-the-art library incorporates the latest IT innovations, allowing students to study in collaboration or solitude. Eolas, the University’s newly built and highly advanced ICT centre, offers the latest facilities for research in Computer Science and Electronic Engineering. In addition, Maynooth Works, the business incubation support centre for IT and biotech startups, is located there.
