Studying at St. Patrick's Pontifical university has been nothing short of amazing. From my very first day I felt right at home, the small class sizes allowed me to make lifelong friendships. There's a real sense of community here everyone knows each other and then the lecturers take genuine interest in how you're doing academically and in your overall growth.

Brandon Lowe - Student Ambassador, BATh

The opportunity to study both Theology and Gaeilge allows me to combine two areas that I love and am passionate about. I always feel welcome on campus by fellow students and lecturers and there’s always someone to sit and have tea in Pugin Hall with too!

Rachel Harries, Theology & Gaeilge student

Choosing to study theology at St. Patrick’s has been one of the most worthwhile and beneficial academic experiences of my life. There is an atmosphere of friendliness and warmth not only among students but also staff with help only ever being one step away.

Rowan Egan, Theology & Gaeilge student

The minute I heard of the BATh course in St Patrick's, I instantly knew it was for me. I have had my expectations significantly surpassed since I began studying here. Everyone's welcomed with a kind and warm atmosphere that almost feels like a home away from home. I am very content in my decision to choose to spend the next three years here.

Collette Sherlock BATh Student

The ability to study at both St Patrick’s and Maynooth University makes for the best possible experience. My theology lectures and tutorials are small enough to allow me to make connections between both my lecturers and my fellow students. Everyone I have met so far has been kind, approachable and good natured. The lecturers are extremely helpful generous with their students. My Arts subject in Maynooth University is history, and this is in perfect harmony with my study of Theology.
