The National University of Ireland, Maynooth (NUIM; Irish: Ollscoil na hÉireann Mhá Nuad), commonly known as Maynooth University (MU) (Irish: Ollscoil Mhá Nuad), is a constituent university of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland. It was Ireland's youngest university until Technological University Dublin was established in 2019, having been founded by the Universities Act, 1997, from the secular faculties of the now separate St Patrick's College, Maynooth, which was founded in 1795.[1] Maynooth is also the only university town in Ireland, all other universities being based within cities.
The university consists of two connected campuses: an older southern campus, with 19th-century buildings, shared with St Patrick's College, and, across a public road, a modern northern campus, occupying circa 100 acres (0.40 km2).[2][3]
Over 13,000 students are enrolled in the university, employing over 900 staff from over 20 different countries.[4] In 2009, Maynooth University was listed as a Top500 university in the Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings.[5][6] In 2008, it was named The Sunday Times 'University of the Year'.
