The Technological University of the Shannon (TUS): Midlands Midwest, formerly known as Athlone Institute of Technology, is a public university. It was established as part of Ireland’s technological higher education sector, which is state-funded and operates under the government’s oversight.
TUS was formed through the merger of Athlone Institute of Technology and Limerick Institute of Technology, further solidifying its status as a public institution. It offers state-accredited programs and receives public funding, aligning with Ireland’s national education strategy to expand access to higher education.
