Munster Technological University International Scholarship

Munster Technological University (MTU), with campuses across Cork and Kerry, is one of Ireland's technological universities, offering practical, industry-aligned programmes in engineering, computing, business, sciences, and the creative arts. It runs international scholarships that reduce tuition for talented overseas students — including Sri Lankans — at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. For Sri Lankan students seeking an affordable, hands-on Irish degree outside Dublin's higher living costs, MTU pairs an English-medium EU qualification with strong regional industry links. Ireland's two-year post-study Stay Back visa lets graduates remain and work afterwards. Awards are merit-based and typically applied as a reduction on the international tuition fee.
