HEAR - Higher Education Access Route

St Patrick’s College, Maynooth opened its doors as an educational institution in 1795 and, over the intervening two centuries, it has established for itself an impressive reputation for scholarship and learning.  The Pontifical University has close links with the National University of Ireland, Maynooth. The two universities share the same campus and co-operate in a number of important academic programmes. 

The Pontifical University, Maynooth and NUI Maynooth share the same facilities on campus.  The NUIM Access Office caters for students of the National University of Ireland Maynooth and for students of the Pontifical University, St Patrick’s College, Maynooth.

Maynooth is the perfect environment for learning.  It is Ireland’s only University town which means you can escape the hassle of long city commutes or you can use the handy bus and rail links to the campus.  Our unique, historic and beautiful campus is the ideal location for reflection and learning.
