Welcome to Atlantic Technological University St Angelas First 5 Weeks Induction Programme
Hello and Welcome to ATU
Ba mhaith liom fáilte mór a chur romhaibh ar fad anseo go dtí Ollscoil Teichneolaíochta an Atlantaigh … and to say a big THANK YOU for choosing to study in Atlantic Technological University!
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to one of our nine campuses. We are one of the largest providers of third level education in Ireland with over 24,000 students, and you are now part of this success story for our future.
At ATU, students benefit from our very positive staff-student interactions and learn through small classes, hands-on practical work, mentoring, internships, and opportunities to study abroad, and this ethos remains strong even as we have joined forces across the three former institutes of technology.
As you start the new academic year with us, I want you to remember some key pieces of advice: connect with each other and engage with your academic Department and School. A significant part of our examination and assessment involves continuous assessment and you can improve your chances of good results by ensuring you maintain a high attendance rate throughout the year. Most of all, do engage with the campaigns and activities organised for you during the induction programme and throughout the year (www.atu.ie/welcome). Participate in Clubs and Societies where possible and follow your Students’ Union on social media to keep up to date and stay connected.
Your third level journey can yield huge rewards for you after you graduate in a few short years from now. Work hard while you are with us, but make sure you also enjoy that journey.
Stay well, look after each other, and I hope to meet you along the way!
Dr Orla Flynn
