In 2008 it was named Sunday Times University of the Year. In 2011, NUI Maynooth became the first and only institution outside of North America to be included in The Princeton Review of Best Colleges.[10][11] Most recently, in 2016, NUI Maynooth was ranked 651-700 in the QS World University Rankings.

History

Further information: St Patrick's College, Maynooth

18th and 19th centuries

The university and St Patrick's College, Maynooth have a common history from 1795 to 1997. The college in Maynooth was established by the government as a college for Catholic lay and ecclesiastical students in 1795, archives of which can be found here[13] the lay college was based from 1802 in Riverstown House on the south campus, with the opening of Clongowes Wood, the lay college which had lay trustees[14] was closed in 1817[15] and it functioned solely as a Catholic seminary for almost 150 years. In 1876 the college became a constituent college of the Catholic University of Ireland, and later offered Royal University of Ireland degrees in arts and science. The Pontifical Charter was granted to the college in 1896.

20th and 21st centuries

The college became a recognised constituent college of the National University of Ireland in 1910. From this time, arts and science degrees were awarded by the National University of Ireland, while the Pontifical University of Maynooth continued to confer its own theology degrees, as these had been prohibited in the Royal University of Ireland, and continued to the National University of Ireland (its successor) until 1997.

In 1966 the college allowed again the entry of lay students; this greatly expanded the college and essentially set the foundation stone for the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. In 1997 the Universities Act resulted in the transfer of the faculties of arts, Celtic studies, philosophy and science of the recognised college of St Patrick's College to the new university. The university has also expanded into finance and engineering since its creation in 1997. In 2007 the university added business studies, followed by law in 2008.

Any person who was a student at St Patrick's College, Maynooth, and was conferred with a National University of Ireland degree prior to the creation of the university, is legally considered a graduate of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.[16]

In 1994, W. J. Smyth was appointed to the position of Master of St. Patrick's College Maynooth (NUI). In 1997 this position became President of NUIM. In 2004 W. J. Smyth was succeeded by John Hughes as president of the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.

On 2 December 2011, eight students from NUIM, including the university's student union president Rob Munnelly, began occupying the Naas constituency office of Fine Gael TD Anthony Lawlor amid concerns about increased tuition fees.[17] They did so with sleeping bags, clothes, a chemical toilet and a week's supply of food and were supported by other students.[18][19] During the occupation Munnelly debated with Lawlor live on Kildare TV, USI President Gary Redmond visited the revolting students and a banner with the slogan "Save The Grant" was erected at Lawlor's entrance.[20][21]

Timeline

Campus

The university campus straddles the main Maynooth to Kilcock Road in County Kildare. It is divided into the North Campus and the South Campus (also referred to by staff and students as the "new" and "old" campuses respectively). The campuses were connected by means of a footbridge that crossed over the road until mid-2011. The footbridge was then decommissioned due to the construction of a library extension on the South Campus. The campuses are now connected by means of a pedestrian crossing on the Kilcock Road.

South Campus

Maynooth Castle at the South Campus gates

The South Campus houses the facilities of St. Patrick's College, as well as most of administrative offices it shares with NUIM. A number of NUIM academic departments also have their offices on the South Campus including mathematics, music, geography, economics and history. The main buildings, most of which were built in the 19th century, are the Aula Maxima; St. Patrick's House (including the college chapel); the John Paul II Library (built in 1984). In December 2012 a new extention to the John Paul II library was completed. The extension is 6,000m² and accommodates 1,700 students.[26] New, Dunboyne, Humanity and Stoyte Houses which collectively form St. Joseph's Square; Logic House and Rhetoric House. The first building to be completed on the South Campus was named after its designer, John Stoyte. Stoyte House, still a prominent presence on campus, stands in proximity to Maynooth Castle.

Over the next 15 years, the site at Maynooth underwent rapid construction so as to cater for the influx of new students, and the buildings which now border St. Joseph's Square (to the rear of Stoyte House) were completed by 1824. The university chapel is located on the South Campus, just off St. Joseph's Square; masses and choir services are frequently held in the chapel, as is the traditional Christmas carol service. The South Campus also houses the National Science Museum.

North Campus

The North Campus was developed far more recently than the South Campus, in the latter half of the 20th century. Here, the main buildings are the Students' Union, Sports Complex, Biosciences and Engineering Building, Callan Science Building (named after the inventor of the induction coil, Nicholas Callan), the Iontas building, the Arts Building, the Science Building and the John Hume Building. The Eolas building houses the department of Computer Science, the Business Incubation Centre and IVI, Hamilton and Callan Institutes, along with several teaching spaces.[27]

Student services is also on North CampusThere are a number of playing fields and a sports complex, which includes a fully equipped gym and an astroturf field. The remainder of NUIM's academic departments as well as many research institutes such as the Institute of Microelectronics and Wireless Systems, the Hamilton Institute and the Institute of Immunology are also located on the North Campus.

North campus is also where the on campus student accommodation stands. These consist of 3 different blocks, Rye Hall Apts, Village Apt and River Apts, with a new "third phase" River apartment block under construction which is set to be complete between late 2016 and early 2017. Together they house over 1000 students.

Kilkenny Campus

The university has also maintained a campus in Kilkenny since September 1997, based at St. Kieran's College, with students enrolled in certificate, diploma and degree programmes.

St Kieran's College, Kilkenny

Academic organisation and reputation

The university is divided into three faculties: Arts, Celtic Studies and Philosophy; Science and Engineering; Social Sciences, with most students studying within one of these streams (although some cross-discipline courses are available). The faculties are further divided into various schools and departments.

As of 2009, there were 990 students at post graduate level.[28] Some postgraduate students also have links to the various research institutes that are based on campus.

Froebel College of Education will also become part of NUI Maynooth by 2013. A new subject available to first years to take is a subject called critical skills.
