SETU
— a regional gamechanger
“Now for the first time a university stands in the South East. This new university can build on the enormous strengths of both institutes and really put a mark on the quality of higher education, employment, enterprise and skills creation, expanded research, socio-economic and regional development in the vibrant South East.” – Minister Simon Harris
“The South East Technological University is great for Waterford and the wider region. It now provides the opportunity for our students from across the South East to attend university rather than go elsewhere.” – Cllr. Joe Kelly, Mayor of Waterford City & County

“Education, skills, research and innovation are all central to regional economic development and the establishment of the South East Technological University is a hugely significant step forward for our region. The current Regional Enterprise Plan to 2024 is aligned as closely as possible to the new Technological University and has been written with significant input from its stakeholders. It is now imperative that SETU receives the level of funding and state support required to ensure it can be genuinely transformative for industry in the region.” – Patsy Carney, Chair of the South East Regional Enterprise Plan
