The Atlantic Technological University has seen a 20 percent increase in their overall student numbers over the last year.

That’s according to new figures released by the University today, which also showed a 15 percent increase in the numbers of students applying for the range of full-time, part-time and online courses available at ATU.

ATU also say that they have enrolled 1,500 students through Springboard+ courses that offer fully and partially funded places for students to learn in areas where skill shortages have been identified.

Dr Billy Bennett, VP for Academic Affairs and Registrar at the University said that: “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.”
