Opportunities for UIS students

Full Semester/Year

Maynooth University is an exchange partner with UIS which means that UIS students can study at MU for one or two semesters while paying their tuition to UIS at the same rate they would be charged to study at UIS.  Financial aid applies and students are eligible to apply for travel scholarships.

Students can select from all departments at MU.

Summer

MU offers a summer program in a number of disciplines including Irish Studies.

Housing is available in campus units (similar to our town houses) as well as in private apartments in town.  There is a shopping mall within walking distance from campus.
