Disability Office
The Maynooth Experience
is for everyone, and NUIM welcomes learners with disabilities. Almost
3.5% of our student body, well above the national average, are people
with disabilities. We recognise that a disability can impact upon
students ability to participate in university life which is why we work
with learners to help ensure that impact is minimised. Read more
Disability Access Route to Education
The Disability Access Route to Education (DARE), aimed at all school leavers with disabilities, was launched by the seven universities, Athlone IT, DIT, National College of Ireland and the Mater Dei Institute of Education. This supplementary admissions scheme recognises the impact of disability on educational attainment and on progression to higher education.
Read our handbook for practical advice if you are considering attending Maynooth.
