Student life at OnCampus Ireland

OnCampus Ireland has two campus locations: one in the heart of Maynooth town, just 25km from Dublin, and the other in Tralee, County Kerry, located in the scenic south-west of Ireland.

Both campuses offer vibrant learning environments and unique experiences for international students.

Our Tralee campus is home to Castel, based at the Munster Technological University (MTU) Kerry Campus. MTU Kerry is a leading provider of programmes in Business, Engineering, Humanities, Science, and Healthcare, with approximately 3,500 full-time undergraduate and postgraduate students, including a diverse international student body from over 40 countries.

Living in Ireland

Ireland offers the perfect opportunity to enjoy a mix of some of the highest education standards in the world, an exciting cultural experience, and fantastic post-study work opportunities. Renowned for being one of the safest and happiest countries in the world, international students can expect a warm welcome from the Irish people.

Students based at our centre in Maynooth, a picturesque region steeped in history, will be less than an hour away from Dublin by train. Dublin offers a cosmopolitan environment and a thriving social scene yet in equal measure, beautiful coast and countryside for those looking for a quieter life outside the classroom. As a diverse multicultural city, Dubliners are famously welcoming and are known for a lively sense of humour. The city is consistently voted one of the most friendly in the world.
