And it seems that it might be a university by the time he graduates
By the time the nextintake of students enrols at Athlone Institute of Technology (AIT) in September 2021, it is expected to have become Ireland’s second technological university (TU). Forged in partnership with Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT), the new third-level institution could revolutionise higher education in the Midlands. The new TU aims to have a student cohort of 15,000 across six campuses in four counties. The joint AIT-LIT bid received a significant boost last month when a grant of €5m was awarded to fund its progression towards becoming a TU.
