Our people are our greatest asset – our staff, students and partners. Although rooted in our region, we have many global links including membership of the European Universities Initiative, EU CONEXUS. SETU’s courses span apprenticeships to PhDs and we offer a dynamic learning experience with over 140 courses that incorporate work-based learning, student mobility, study abroad opportunities and research-led curricula. Our ambition is to be a leading European Technological University and to be the anchor institution of the south east of Ireland, creating impact for the region through supporting social mobility, providing a skilled workforce, engaging in research, supporting innovation, and attracting and retaining talent.

We are a community of 18,000 students and over 1,600 staff with campuses in Carlow, Waterford and Wexford, as well as a presence in Kilkenny and Wicklow. I was delighted to be appointed as SETU’s inaugural President in July 2022. South East Technological University (SETU) was established on and is Ireland’s newest technological university.
