ATLANTIC Technological University (ATU) has seen a twenty per cent increase in student numbers across their portfolio of part-time, online, flexible, and professional development programmes.
Dr Billy Bennett, VP for Academic Affairs and Registrar said the ATU has also seen a 15 per cent increase in applications to study at the university.
“ATU is now one of the largest providers of flexible and online learning programmes in Ireland. As a university, we are acutely aware of the need to provide access to higher education, not just to those who seek full-time options, but also to those who seek to upskill, retrain or progress in their career. The models offered need to work for those in employment, using part-time and flexible learning delivery, be that online or blended online and on-campus. Our close links with industry ensures we offer a portfolio matched to industry’s needs, supporting employers in our region and beyond to attract and retain talent.” said Dr Bennett.
Professor Jacqueline McCormack, VP for EDI, and Online Development said: “At ATU we are leaning into our combined strengths. Across the western seaboard, we have expertise in Biopharma, MedTech, Fintech, Quality, Digital Manufacturing, Computing, to name but a few.”
ATU is now accepting applications for a further 100 Online, Flexible & Professional Development programmes commencing in January 2024. For more information, visit www.atu.ie/january-start
