Electives  

Elective streams allow you to make more of your university education, and to take better advantage of the world-class lecturers and interesting subject material that Maynooth has to offer. They may help to broaden your perspective (e.g. by taking an interdisciplinary topic), allow you to interact with students from other disciplines, or help you develop transferable skills for the future in a way that complements your main disciplinary studies (e.g. study of a modern language). An elective stream amounts to one-sixth of the total course work for the year.
Registration for electives will be subject to enrolment limitations, and also must be compatible with the timetabling and other requirements of your main subjects. Some combinations of electives and subjects are excluded.

There may also be limited places in some Electives so be sure to register for your preferred Elective early.
