I would like to extend a warm welcome to all students attending programmes, both undergraduate and postgraduate, under the aegis of the Ecclesiastical Faculty at the Milltown Institute of Theology and Philosophy. Staff and students in the Ecclesiastical Faculty work very closely with the staff and students of the Recognised College of the NUI at Milltown. We are all participants in the one community of learning and hope to support each other mutually in our endeavours.
Students in the Ecclesiastical Faculty may be studying for a Doctorate or Licentiate in Theology, Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Divinity, or for Diplomas and Certificates in a range of specialised disciplines. A special welcome is extended to those students who will be attending programmes accredited by the Ecclesiastical Faculty in various outreach centres such as the Jesuit centres of spirituality in Manresa House, Dublin and in Salthill, Galway; An Croí Centre of Spirituality in Drogheda and in New Jersey; the online programmes in Carmelite Spirituality run by the Carmelite Institute of Britain and Ireland , and the diplomas in Religious Formation run in Myanmar. I sincerely hope that all the students in the different outreach programmes will feel that they are cherished members of the Milltown Institute community of learning.
Many of you may be students from abroad, either returning to complete another year of your studies or taking your first steps as you commence your studies in the Milltown Institute. You are a great source of enrichment to the academic, cultural, liturgical and social life of the Institute. Exchanges between the different nationalities among the student body have always been a positive and enriching experience in Milltown at many different levels. It is a most valued part of our life together in the Institute.
I hope that your time in Milltown may be blessed in every way. We look forward to your individual and collective contributions to the life of the Institute in many different areas in the forthcoming academic year. Please do not hesitate to contact any of the Programme Directors, the Chaplain, myself or any of the other officials of the Institute, if we can be of any practical help to you in any way during your time with us.

Since the Schools of Philosophy and Theology were established at Milltown Park in the 1880's the Irish Jesuits have gathered publications for their house of studies. Since 1938 this material has been housed in an attractive purpose-built library, the Jesuit Library.
The Jesuit Library, which is one of the finest theology libraries in Ireland, is at the disposal of the staff and students of the Milltown Institute. The Library contains 135,000 volumes covering theology, philosophy, spirituality, scripture, Church history, Jesuit history and biography, the humanities and Irish affairs. All library holdings have been added to the computerised catalogue. There is access to the catalogue through four terminals located in the library.
Milltown Institute offers students a wide range of accommodation and lodging in the surrounding area.
A list is drawn up each year detailing the different types of accommodation available in the locality; partial board (bed, breakfast and evening meal), flats, self-catering facilities and houses for rent. The list is available from Deirdre Tallon in Room VII.
Students organise their own accommodation with the help of this list and are responsible for arranging terms on which rent is paid. There is an up-to date list of all accommodation offered by request. Simply email Deirdre Tallon at the institute and she'll send it on to you.
