The Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) is a public university. It was established in 2021 through the merger of Athlone Institute of Technology and Limerick Institute of Technology, both of which were publicly funded institutions.
As a technological university, TUS receives government funding and operates under the Irish Higher Education Authority. It offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate programs, with a focus on applied learning and industry collaboration, typical of public higher education institutions in Ireland.
