National University of Ireland, Maynooth traces its roots to the foundation of St. Patrick's College in 1795. In 1910, Maynooth became a recognized College of the National University of Ireland for the purpose of awarding degrees in Art, Science, Celtic Studies and Philosophy. Under the Universities Act (1997) it was established with full University status as the National University of Ireland, Maynooth.
The University has long since expanded beyond its original role. It now has in excess of 5,000 students from all over Ireland and overseas. Academic developments include the introduction of new degree and diploma programs in Computer Science, Software Engineering, European Social Policy, Local History and combined History through French or German degrees.
The University consists of two campuses, the north and the south. The South campus incorporates eighteenth-century houses, a quadrangle of Georgian collegiate buildings, together with a celebrated Gothic-revival square. The North campus is comprised of more recent buildings including Art, Science, Electronic Engineering, the Students' Union and Residence Halls.
