Kilkenny Campus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kilkenny Campus (NUI Maynooth)
Since 1997, National University of Ireland, Maynooth, in collaboration with a Kilkenny-based committee, have operated an outreach campus in the west wing of the old St. Kieran's College building in Kilkenny. Part-time courses at Certificate, Diploma, and Degree level are offered to adult learners, mostly in the humanities and social sciences. Some taught postgraduate courses have also been offered, and a number of graduates from the two BA programmes have continued to research-based postgraduate study. There are currently almost 300 part-time adult students attending courses at the Campus, and the annual awards and conferring ceremonies are held at Kilkenny Castle.
In November 2006, Dr. Liam Bolger became the first person to graduate with a PhD having commenced his university studies ab initio at the Kilkenny Campus.
