Arcadia Abroad - Maynooth University
Program Overview
As the fastest-growing university in Ireland, Maynooth University is a friendly, welcoming blend of old and new. It is simultaneously one of the country's youngest universities, founded in one of the oldest traditions.
Established just 20 years ago as one of the four constituent colleges of the National University of Ireland, it traces its origins to the founding of St. Patrick's College Seminary in 1795.
Maynooth ranked #43 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings for the top 100 universities under 50 years old, and is home to 13,000 students, among them over 2,200 international students from 95 countries.
The university is strongly focused on the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, and maintains a deep commitment to research, teaching, and engagement. It boasts particular strengths in anthropology, Celtic studies, the arts and education, as well as business, science, and electronic engineering. This university is also the only one in Ireland to offer a credit-bearing school-based classroom observation experience for education majors.
