Munster Technological University has six principal campuses in counties Kerry and Cork
The institution has six principal campuses: MTU Bishopstown, MTU Kerry North, MTU Kerry South, MTU Cork School of Music and MTU Crawford College of Art and Design, both in Cork City, and the National Maritime College of Ireland, situated in Ringaskiddy, Cork Harbour.
“Most people would say that the forerunners to this college, the institutes of technology and the regional technical colleges, were actually central to inward investment into the southwest by foreign multinational companies, as well, of course, as helping stimulate Irish companies,” he said. MTU has strong creative programmes in the MTU Cork School of Music and the MTU Crawford College of Art and Design, both in Cork City.
Since its establishment, demand from CAO applicants for MTU’s courses has been very strong, Prof Cusack said, while MTU’s total research expenditure continues to feature at the upper end of the scale across Ireland’s technological universities.The Rubicon Centre on MTU’s Cork campus and the Tom Crean Centre on MTU’s Kerry campus, both which Prof Cusack has described as integral to the university’s mission, are innovation hubs for start-ups and indigenous entrepreneurs.
