Student Life
Life outside the classroom is an important part of a Maynooth Education and you can learn plenty by challenging yourself against your peers on the sports field or the gaming table. We have presentations and videos below for you to see what’s available.
Clubs and Societies are already preparing for the return to university life later this month. There are currently over 100 clubs and societies – something for everyone, no matter who you are or what your tastes, there will be a club/society to suit you. From developing existing skills, trying something different and making new friends, joining a club or society is one of the best things you can do. Clubs and Societies are student run and are a vital part of the student experience here in Maynooth University.

“My participation with the Union was the highlight of my college experience. Last year I was President of a Society. This allowed me to get elected as a voice for societies on our Student Senate, which in turn inspired me to run to be MSU President. “
