Student Testimonial

“As a French student at the IUT of Saint-Nazaire, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to come study at TUS Athlone for a year on the Erasmus programme. TUS offers all the learning opportunities to an international student and we are very well supported, with a teaching staff that is very caring and patient. The courses are very interesting and offer a diverse range of electives. Moreover, numerous sports and cultural activities are offered here, allowing us to thrive to the fullest at TUS. I am so happy with this year that I have decided to stay for an additional year to complete my Bachelor’s in Business Honours.” Olivia from France.
