Name and Brand

“Atlantic” conveys power, strength, inspiration, creation, vast horizons – a distinctive geography, rich history and shared heritage. This is a hugely appropriate name for a TU with an international reach without borders, on the edge of Europe, spanning thousands of kilometres of coastline including the Wild Atlantic Way, a gateway to the rest of the world.

Atlantic TU educates and inspires in the West and North-West region of Ireland, and deliver an impact far beyond it.

At Atlantic TU we serve a diverse group of learners, staff, communities and organisations from our region and further afield. We offer a rich combination of academic and research excellence, quality of life and opportunity – all of which can be experienced in the most beautiful part of Ireland.

Our collaborative considered approach ensures that we deliver practice-orientated study, and research that seeks to address major challenges facing society and the world.

As a western and north-western multicampus technological university, we are dedicated to enabling sustainable economic, social, and cultural development; connected to our region and with a mindset that reaches far beyond it.
