Technological University of Shannon, TUS, is Ireland’s third technological university and is home to more than 15,000 students across seven campuses in Athlone, Limerick, Thurles, Clonmel, and Ennis, all of which offer a lively and enjoyable student experience.
The university was the result of a merger between two institutes of technology: the Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT) and the Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT). The AIT-LIT Consortium had been formed due to the passing of the Technological Universities Bill, which required at least two institutes to apply together for university status.
The university officially opened on 1 October 2021 to serve both the midlands and the mid-west regions of the country.
