LW2ADM - LAW | Credits: 30 Not compulsory: | Mathematics is the logical and abstract study of pattern. It involves an interplay between the concrete and the abstract: the ever-changing world around us is one of the key inspirations for the invention and investigation of abstract mathematics, and the discoveries of abstract mathematics have important and unexpected applications in the world around us. The Department offers multiple programmes to suit a range of Mathematical backgrounds, from the intensive Pure Mathematics programmes, which are aimed at students with a strong interest in abstract mathematics and a flair for analytical reasoning, to the more applied programmes which appeal to students who enjoy the more concrete areas of the subject. - Students concentrate on Mathematics (Pure) - learning how to think hard and rigorously about Mathematical questions;
- In the final two years, central areas of Mathematics such as Complex Analysis, Topology and Group Theory are studied in depth;
- Select from a range of courses in rapidly growing areas such as: Differential Geometry, Numerical Analysis, Probability, Statistics and Graph Theory;
- Develop the ability to invent, criticise and perfect new Mathematics for yourself and to solve new problems;

Admission to 2nd Mathematics (Pure) (MT2DM) is conditional on students obtaining a mark of 50% or better in the 1st year Mathematics (Pure) (MT1F30/MT1DM/MT1TDM) Examination. MT2DM - MATHEMATICS (PURE) | Credits: 30 Not compulsory: | 'Philosophy' is an ancient Greek word that means ‘love of wisdom’. The wisdom philosophy seeks is concerned with the big questions that everyone will eventually encounter in his or her life: What is happiness? What is love? Is there a god? What is the meaning of it all? - Philosophy approaches these questions both historically and systematically. Thinking philosophically requires knowledge of what those who have come before us have thought; but it also requires the ability to evaluate these positions critically.
- Philosophy explores the foundations of all of reality and of all knowledge. To mention a few examples, there is a philosophy of language and a philosophy of music; political philosophy; ethics; a philosophy of science and a philosophy of religion. There is nothing that cannot be questioned philosophically.
- Philosophy is not the most practical of subjects. Yet every society needs philosophers—people who do not just live, love, work, raise children etc., but who seek answers to the question why. A philosophy degree is not a qualification for any particular career; rather, one studies philosophy to lead an 'examined life', as Socrates put it. Studying philosophy is an investment in one’s life.
- This having been said, the expertise gained in philosophy is of great value in many different areas. Philosophy graduates are valued for their quick intelligence, ability to reason deeply, clearly and independently, and for their ability to take an overview on the problem or situation confronting them.
PH2DM - PHILOSOPHY | Credits: 30 Not compulsory: | | Timetable group: II | This option will suit students interested in taking a language with Business (International). - International Business is about conducting business in different countries and managing people and organisations in an increasingly globalised world.
- To effectively compete in this changing business landscape, organisations must offer goods and services across nations, regions, and continents outside of their home market and must also manage increasingly diverse workforces as nations, cultures, and markets converge.
- International Business provides the strategies, insights, and skills to respond to these challenges, enabling organisations to manage diverse people and operations and to compete for customers across the world.
Business is about identifying and delivering solutions to the problems and needs of people in a sustainable and profitable way. Management is the method through which firms, government and voluntary groups organise the jobs that need to be done to efficiently and effectively design, produce, market and improve products and services.

Creating a customer is central to what we teach and research in Marketing at the Maynooth School of Business. - Marketing is more than a function. It is a customer-centric, enterprise-wide set of processes, systems, and activities that connect firms and customers in a dynamic global marketplace. Effective marketing requires an understanding of the business as a whole and of the managerial value creation and capture process.
- Marketing is critical for the organic growth of a business – a key challenge for small to medium enterprises in Ireland and worldwide, as well as multinational organisations located in Ireland. It helps an organisation to create value and profits by enabling them to better understand the needs of its customers and providing them with innovative products and services.

GY2MJ - GEOGRAPHY | Credits: 40 Not compulsory: | Mathematics is the logical and abstract study of pattern. It involves an interplay between the concrete and the abstract: the ever-changing world around us is one of the key inspirations for the invention and investigation of abstract mathematics, and the discoveries of abstract mathematics have important and unexpected applications in the world around us. The Department offers multiple programmes to suit a range of Mathematical backgrounds, from the intensive Pure Mathematics programmes, which are aimed at students with a strong interest in abstract mathematics and a flair for analytical reasoning, to the more applied programmes which appeal to students who enjoy the more concrete areas of the subject. - Students concentrate on Mathematics (Pure) - learning how to think hard and rigorously about Mathematical questions;

Admission to 2nd Arts Mathematics (MT2MJ) is conditional on students obtaining a mark of 50% or better in the 1st year Mathematics (MT1F30) Examination. MT2MJ - MATHEMATICS (PURE) | Credits: 40 Not compulsory: | 'Philosophy' is an ancient Greek word that means ‘love of wisdom’. The wisdom philosophy seeks is concerned with the big questions that everyone will eventually encounter in his or her life: What is happiness? What is love? Is there a god? What is the meaning of it all? - Philosophy approaches these questions both historically and systematically. Thinking philosophically requires knowledge of what those who have come before us have thought; but it also requires the ability to evaluate these positions critically.
- Philosophy explores the foundations of all of reality and of all knowledge. To mention a few examples, there is a philosophy of language and a philosophy of music; political philosophy; ethics; a philosophy of science and a philosophy of religion. There is nothing that cannot be questioned philosophically.
- Philosophy is not the most practical of subjects. Yet every society needs philosophers—people who do not just live, love, work, raise children etc., but who seek answers to the question why. A philosophy degree is not a qualification for any particular career; rather, one studies philosophy to lead an 'examined life', as Socrates put it. Studying philosophy is an investment in one’s life.
- This having been said, the expertise gained in philosophy is of great value in many different areas. Philosophy graduates are valued for their quick intelligence, ability to reason deeply, clearly and independently, and for their ability to take an overview on the problem or situation confronting them.
PH2MJ - PHILOSOPHY | Credits: 40 Not compulsory: | | Timetable group: II | This option will suit students interested in taking a language with Business (International). - International Business is about conducting business in different countries and managing people and organisations in an increasingly globalised world.
- To effectively compete in this changing business landscape, organisations must offer goods and services across nations, regions, and continents outside of their home market and must also manage increasingly diverse workforces as nations, cultures, and markets converge.
- International Business provides the strategies, insights, and skills to respond to these challenges, enabling organisations to manage diverse people and operations and to compete for customers across the world.
MN2IMJ - BUSINESS (INTERNATIONAL) | Credits: 40 Not compulsory: | Management is about taking ideas and converting them into action: designing, making, and delivering products and services that customers and citizens want or need. Essentially, it is about organising to get things done. - Managers are generalists and organisers; they need to know the fundamentals of all major aspects of business, from thinking about the business as a whole and its strategic direction, to organising the workforce, managing the effective use of information technology, managing supply chains locally and globally, and effectively managing costs and revenues.
- Managers are at the heart of how these complex functions are seamlessly combined to make the world look simple to customers. Our degree in Business Management will equip you with the tools necessary to achieve this.
Business is about identifying and delivering solutions to the problems and needs of people in a sustainable and profitable way. Management is the method through which firms, government and voluntary groups organise the jobs that need to be done to efficiently and effectively design, produce, market and improve products and services. Marketing is about analysing markets, connecting customers with the capabilities of a business to produce products and services that they need. Business graduates are consistently amongst the most employable of all in the Irish education system. Taking Business as an Arts subject is an ideal choice if you wish to pursue a subject you are passionate about in the humanities or social sciences and want to be able to understand how you take effective action in your discipline or market your discipline to attract the interest of people in what you do.

Creating a customer is central to what we teach and research in Marketing at the Maynooth School of Business. - Marketing is more than a function. It is a customer-centric, enterprise-wide set of processes, systems, and activities that connect firms and customers in a dynamic global marketplace. Effective marketing requires an understanding of the business as a whole and of the managerial value creation and capture process.
- Marketing is critical for the organic growth of a business – a key challenge for small to medium enterprises in Ireland and worldwide, as well as multinational organisations located in Ireland. It helps an organisation to create value and profits by enabling them to better understand the needs of its customers and providing them with innovative products and services.
