Subject Talks

On Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11 September we will be hosting a series of Subject Information Talks on campus to help students with their subject choices in advance of registration. Join us (check the schedule) and ask our staff anything that’s on your mind about our Arts or Science degrees or any of our courses.  We are here to help!

 

Consent Training

Maynooth University is committed to the development of an institutional campus culture which is safe, respectful, supportive and positive. Prior to in-person registration, all incoming students are asked to complete a 30-minute online workshop on consent. This training will provide you with knowledge and skills that will help you to keep yourself safe and enjoy your college experience. The workshop can be found on Moodle, Maynooth’s Virtual Learning Environment. It is available to access 24/7 once you have received your Maynooth login details.
