My Maynooth Our graduates hold positions of seniority in business, academia, politics, industry and the media. Paul Mc Callion, UNHCRMA Anthropology & Development graduate Moving from his career as an electrician into Masters study at Maynooth University, Paul now works as an energy expert with the UNHCR. Working as a mature student in the evenings takes a lot of commitment and I was delighted with the first rate support I got from Maynooth University. I was encouraged by my lecturers to do an MA in Anthropology and Development as they recognised that my area of interest (indigenous uses and adaptation of electrical and renewable technologies) was under researched and ground-breaking. Naushaba Hasin Biology graduate After completing her MSc in molecular biology and biotechnology in India, Naushaba was awarded a John and Pat Hume research scholarship from Maynooth University to carry out a PhD in yeast genetics. During her studies at Maynooth University, Naushaba contributed to an international collaboration with researchers at University of Chicago in studying a new approach in cancer therapeutics. Naushaba is now working as a postdoctoral scientist at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Bethesda, USA.
Masters Programmes with dedicated, one to one support Masters Student Profile Ciaran McFadden MSc Business Management At Maynooth it is the individual that matters; the university is renowned for its supportive educational ethos. Our small class sizes and one-to-one guidance from senior lecturers and global researchers challenges and inspires students, giving them the support they need to reach their potential and to build a stand out resume or CV. Having graduated with a Bachelor s degree in Biomedical Science I decided to take a conversion Master of Business Management to broaden my horizons and add to my career prospects. From starting as a first year undergraduate student in Maynooth, I can honestly say I still love it. The lecturers are all approachable, there is a club or society for every interest and the campus has a friendly, small-town atmosphere that belies its fantastic international reputation for research and teaching. Ciarán has recently been awarded a Fulbright scholarship for his PhD research.
World Class Structured Research Programmes Research Student Profile Dr Wendy Fuller PhD Sociology graduate All research students at Maynooth University undertake a Structured Research MSc/MLitt or PhD Programme. The aim of the structured programme is the advancement of knowledge through research, supporting the PhD student researcher with professional skills training to prepare them for a career in global research. My graduate work in the Sociology Department at Maynooth University gave me more than just an expertise in fields like social psychology, gender, globalization and education. It gave me the tools that I would need to explore the social world in a rigorous and sound way, enabling me to conduct research which stands up to international scrutiny. It also afforded me with the opportunity to learn how to teach at the university level through both Professional Certificates in Teaching and Learning and the chance to instruct classes throughout the four years of my doctoral work.
