What Our Students Say...

"I would describe my experience at MU with three words: challenge, freedom and community. The academic curriculum has challenged me, pushed me and helped me grow. Freedom, because having access to a huge international city like Dublin and the associated opportunities and people has given me incredible freedom. And community, because I felt so welcomed and at home here in Maynooth town and on campus." - Courtney Gehle, South Africa – MA International Development

"Maynooth, being a university that is so close to a local town, but able to stand alone really relies on community. No matter where I was on campus, I always felt welcomed and encouraged to join the fun! Maynooth's location is incredible, the campus itself is a beautiful mix of gothic, dark academia and modern, sophisticated, and professional. The people, the location, and the education that I was able to experience are things I will remember and cherish for life." - Victor Norman, United States - BA Media Studies

"As a Ph.D. student trying to find my way through the vast sea of education, I found a safe harbour on the shores of Maynooth University. From the first day I came here, I felt like I was at home. It had a unique mix of intellectual freedom and a reassuring sense of safety. It was a place that both encouraged and celebrated my individuality." - Thalita Nazaré , Brazil – Ph.D. Electronic Engineering
