It says "There is also significant demand for the University’s new four-year full-time degree in Early Childhood - Teaching and Learning, to support the growing need for outstanding early childhood educators. "
Commenting on the CAO first round offers, Professor Philip Nolan, President of Maynooth University, said: “We look forward to welcoming our new students for the academic year 2020/2021. This has been a difficult year for Leaving Cert and third-level students, who have shown great resolve in focusing on their studies during these unprecedented times. We are especially delighted to open the doors of Maynooth University later this month for as close to a full on-campus experience within public health guidelines.”
