Department of Law, Maynooth University

The National University of Ireland Maynooth (Maynooth University) is a very distinctive university, a collegial institution strongly focused on the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, and equally committed to research, teaching and engagement. Its distinctive features and character owe much to its unique history and heritage. Maynooth University was formally established as an autonomous university as recently as 1997, yet traces its origins to the foundation of the Royal College of St. Patrick in 1795, making it, simultaneously, Ireland’s youngest university and one of its oldest educational institutions.

Maynooth University is a university of international standing, a community of over 9000 students and 800 staff, renowned for research and scholarship of global repute, excellent teaching, and as an outstanding environment to learn and work.
