About MTU

Munster Technological University (MTU) was established in 2021 through the merger of Cork Institute of Technology and IT Tralee. With campuses across Cork City and County Kerry, MTU is one of Ireland's largest higher education institutions, serving over 19,000 students with a diverse range of programmes across technology, science, business, arts, and health.

Cork is Ireland's second-largest city, often dubbed the "Silicon Valley of Ireland" due to its thriving tech ecosystem and presence of major multinationals including Apple, Dell, and Pfizer. MTU's strong industry partnerships and applied research focus make its graduates highly sought-after in both the Irish and global job markets.
