The world is changing. And we are changing with it.

South East Technological University is the first technological university in south east Ireland. This gives us an exciting platform to establish our community as a centre for innovation, opportunity, and growth.

Through exceptional learning and collaboration, we aim to transform the ambitions of learners, researchers, and businesses across the south east and beyond.

South East Technological University has ambitious plans for the future.

We are merging campuses in Waterford, Carlow, Wexford, Wicklow and Kilkenny into an institution that brings investment, ideas and opportunity to each community.

We are creating a Technological University that will serve more than 18,000 learners, and employ more than 2,000 staff.

Based on your preference and course of study, you will find yourself on a campus that provides community and collaboration.

We want to create an environment which is welcoming and transformative for local and international students of all ages and backgrounds, as well as staff, researchers and partners.

This means providing exceptional facilities, as well as support for students with many different needs, including financial support, medical assistance, career advice and counselling.

We are also developing a full programme of extra-curricular activities, including sports teams, societies and volunteering groups.

South East Technological University aims to be a beacon for knowledge, partnerships and ideas in the south east of Ireland.

However, we can only achieve this by drawing on diverse insights and different outlooks. Every year, we welcome students, researchers and staff from all over the world. We are committed to being an institution with an international outlook and global reach.

A multicultural community

Our community is proudly diverse. Our students and staff bring different perspectives and experiences to our discussions and our work, and help to establish SETU as a place that can make a global impact.

We welcome applicants for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Our students come from both inside and outside the EU.

Global partnerships

We want you to be able to experience the wonders of Ireland, while learning in a way that is inspiring and transferable. We have built partnerships with 100 universities across the EU, including programmes for Erasmus exchange students. If you are based in Ireland, you also have the opportunity to spend time studying at one of our partner universities across the EU.
