Further Education students get a taste of ATU

Atlantic Technological University hosted a very successful Taster Day for Further Education students at its Sligo campus last week.

The event was attended by 25 students from Sligo College of Further Education and Training (SCFET) and Tubbercurry, as well as staff from within various ATU departments and several SCFET lecturers.

A number of students from the Further Education community who are already studying at ATU also attended and were a great assistance on the day.

Those who attended were FE students with a real interest in progressing to ATU and lecturers were able to answer lots of questions about their pathways into the technological university.

ATU staff present included Marie Moran (Business), Gary Kerr (Marketing), Paula Ryder (Sport), Caroline Costello and Sheena O’Neill (Social Care), Beatrice Flavin (Accounting), and Higher Education 4.0’s Progression Pathways quartet of Gillian O’Donovan (Marketing and Languages), Clodagh Caslin (Economics and Risk Management), Lorraine Murphy (Law) and Ruth Walsh (Law), to mention but a few.

FE students in attendance received a free ATU goody bag.
