Ireland Rolling international admission for 2026 intakes — apply early for the strongest merit consideration

Atlantic Technological University International Scholarship

Atlantic Technological University (ATU) is one of Ireland's newer technological universities, formed from institutes across Galway, Sligo, Donegal, and the west, delivering applied, career-focused Bachelor's and Master's degrees in engineering, computing, business, science, and the creative fields. ATU offers merit-based tuition reductions to international students with a good academic record. For Sri Lankan students, ATU is a comparatively affordable, English-medium route into an Irish degree — with Ireland's well-regarded post-study work visa for graduates — outside the higher cost of Dublin, in scenic regional cities. Programmes are applied and industry-connected. Scholarship values and eligible courses vary by campus and intake, so confirm the current award, eligibility, accreditation, and deadlines with ATU's international office before applying.
