Maynooth, in County Kildare, is known as Ireland's only university town and is home to Maynooth University, whose historic campus dates back to 1795. About 40 minutes from Dublin by train, it offers a calm, student-centred life.
Ask NGGlobal's advisers about the current language school options in Maynooth. English preparation programs at Maynooth University and language schools in Dublin are among the options.
In Maynooth you can book short courses of 1-2 weeks. On an intensive program, one English level usually takes 8-12 weeks. Reaching the IELTS score universities ask for usually needs a 6-12 month plan, depending on your starting level.
The biggest factor in the price is the length of your booking: the weekly fee drops noticeably for bookings of 12 weeks or more. Besides tuition, budget for items such as the registration fee, materials and the student visa and health insurance. NGGlobal students can take advantage of the schools' seasonal offers.
At most language schools courses start every Monday. Because the visa process for long-term programs with work rights takes time, we recommend applying at least 3 months ahead. Summer is the busiest period.
A long-stay study visa application requires the school's acceptance letter, proof of course fee payment, health insurance and proof of a set amount of funds. After arriving in Ireland, you register with immigration and receive a Stamp 2 residence permission.
Working on a short-stay (C) visa is prohibited. When working on Stamp 2, you must meet the attendance requirement and hour limits; working in breach of the rules can lead to cancellation of your permission. NGGlobal helps you plan your long-term program and budget.
Student residences and shared houses are common in Maynooth; demand rises at the start of the academic year, so book early.
Living costs in Maynooth are lower than in Dublin, and rent and daily costs suit a student budget better.
Maynooth is a small, walkable town with easy trains and buses to Dublin.
Maynooth has a mild maritime climate with gentle winters and cool summers. Rain is frequent all year but usually light and brief.
Direct flights from Istanbul to Dublin Airport (DUB) take about 4-4.5 hours; the train from Dublin to Maynooth takes about 40 minutes.
Because Ireland uses daylight saving time, the difference changes with the season: Maynooth is 2 hours behind Turkey in summer and 3 hours behind in winter. When it is 12:00 in Turkey, it is 09:00 in Maynooth in winter and 10:00 in summer.
