Eight Campuses – One Technological University

2,215 staff working together

Since its inception the CUA has approached the development of an application to become a TU in a manner which builds trust and cooperation and will serve as the basis for a future cohesive organisation. This approach has permeated the activities of all CUA groups since 2012. The diagram below gives examples of how they are acting as one coherent entity, in preparation for the coming merger.

When will TU designation be achieved?

Will we still retain our links with our local campus?

We submitted our application to the Higher Education Authority for designation as a TU on the 21st of May 2021. A formal audit and review of the application by an international panel is taking place in July 2021. We hope that formal designation will be in place by the 1st of January 2022.

Yes, we are committed to maintaining close links with our local and regional stakeholders. Increased emphasis on the inclusion of professional practice and industrial placement modules in our programmes affords greater opportunities for liaison with stakeholders. Our networks are key to maintaining relevance through programme review and development. They are also critical to the identification of emerging trends and future developments.
