If you’re considering studying in Ireland, let me assure you – it’s an experience you won’t regret!
As I look back on my first two weeks in this incredible country, I can confidently say that Ireland, and especially Technological University of the Shannon (TUS), has already exceeded my expectations. Let me take you through some highlights of my journey so far.
Ireland: A Land of Warmth, Celebration, and Opportunity
From the moment I arrived, I felt a genuine sense of belonging. The people are incredibly welcoming, the atmosphere is vibrant, and the career prospects are endless. Ireland isn’t just a place to study—it’s a place to grow, explore, and thrive.
One of the most unforgettable moments of my journey was celebrating St. Patrick’s Day in Limerick – an unforgettable experience filled with music, dance, and an entire city draped in green. Equally mesmerizing was the Holi celebration at TUS Athlone Campus, where students from diverse backgrounds came together to celebrate culture and unity through vibrant colors and festivities. These experiences truly showcased Ireland’s inclusivity and TUS’s commitment to fostering a global student community.
TUS: More Than a University – A Close-Knit Community
What sets TUS apart is its welcoming and engaging campus environment. Unlike larger universities where students can sometimes feel lost, TUS fosters a sense of community where faculty, staff, and students genuinely support one another.
One of my most memorable experiences was sharing a meal with Pharmaceutical & Engineering students at the new TUS Coonagh campus, discussing everything from academic goals to weekend adventures. It was evident that at TUS, students receive both a top-tier education and a well-rounded university experience.
Beyond student life, my interactions with key university leaders were deeply inspiring. It is always a privilege to meet our esteemed President, Prof. Vincent Cunnane. My discussion with Vice President of Internationalisation and Alumni, Donnacha McNamara, provided valuable insights into TUS’s ambitious vision for the future. Engaging discussions with Director of TUS Global, Cliona Campbell, as well as esteemed Deans and Heads of Departments, reaffirmed TUS’s unwavering commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and student success.
Future-Ready Education & Career Opportunities at TUS
If career prospects are a top priority for you, TUS is the perfect choice. The university places a strong emphasis on hands-on learning, ensuring that students gain practical experience in their respective fields.
What truly stood out to me is Ireland’s Stay Back Visa, allowing international graduates to work in the country for up to two years post-graduation. With global giants like Google, Apple, Intel, and Pfizer actively hiring in Ireland, studying at TUS positions students for unparalleled career opportunities.
