Where???

Unless I'm missing it, nowhere in this piece does it say where the university was sited. Can someone add this essential piece of information?

It had no big campus, being essentially an accredition and examination body. Its legal address and modest offices were at Newman House, St. Stephen's Green. SeoR (talk) 17:31, 21 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Theology?

Does anyone have a source to confirm that the Royal University eventually started issuing theology degrees? Did that need another Act of Parliament? I believe that Magee College issued Royal University of Ireland degrees to presbyterian ordinands, and I would like to write that in the article if there is a good source. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 04:32, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that the Royal University was prohibited from awarding theology degrees. It was only since 1997 that the National University of Ireland could award theology degrees, the successor. Maybe the Presbyterian Theological Faculty Ireland was the body that awarded those degrees?

That seems a reasonable hypothesis. It is possible that ordinands took exams sufficient for a non-religious Bachelor of Arts degree from the Royal University, and supplemented that with an additional award from the PTFI. If no-one remembers or published if that is indeed how this worked, then, no doubt, there will be something buried in an archive in Dublin, Belfast or Magee that explains it. If someone finds the answer it would be nice to see them write it into the Magee College article. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 14:59, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Female graduates

There's a contradiction within the article as to when the first female graduate(s) were awarded their degrees. The second paragraph states that the Royal University "granted its first degree to a woman on October 22, 1882". However, in the section "Graduates of the Royal University of Ireland" it is stated that "[a] high number of graduates of the university for the time were women (the first 9 in 1884)". So, which is it...? Andrew Gwilliam (talk) 01:57, 8 July 2011 (UTC).[reply]
