Choose to build the experience that suits you and contact us on 00353 1708 6467 or summer.school@mu.ie.

Our innovative programming supports wide-ranging possibilities. In the past our partners have chosen to combine any number of the following offerings:

Partner courses taught by partner instructors

Maynooth courses taught by partner instructors
Partner sports teams training at MU campus and experiencing Irish culture and heritage
Hybrid faculty-led programs that interlink with our International Summer School

As a complement to our bespoke programmes, the summer months offer the chance to combine a faculty-led programme with our innovative in-house summer schools.

Contact us or visit the MUISS , Field Anthropology, and Engineering and Computer Science Summer School pages for further information about those programmes.
Alternatively we can build a faculty-led programme to meet the specific needs of your group/university. We offer flexibility across all aspects of a programme's itinerary:

Duration: Decide to run a programme for just 7 days or for a whole month;
Cultural Excursions: We are happy to organise all cultural excursions and various other non-academic elements of the programme that you would like to include in the schedule;
Academics: We can create programme schedules across all faculty departments to meet the needs of any academic criteria. In the past we have operated programmes in the following areas:
Irish History (modern & medieval), Irish Heritage & Culture, Sport, Engineering, Computer Science, Geography/Environmental Studies, Service Learning and much more.
