    • Specialized Course Talks: On request, we can arrange to present on specific courses like the Bachelor of Arts degree, providing deeper insights into fields of study.Additionally, we actively participate in Careers Fairs & Exhibitions. If you're hosting an event and would like Maynooth University to attend, please let us know. We also try to attend as many Colleges of Further Education as possible.
