How to Find Courses and Campus Information on the ATU Website

Updated

Start at atu.ie, Atlantic Technological University's main site. From the homepage, use the main navigation to reach course search and campus pages; the site describes ATU as a multi-campus technological university in the west and northwest of Ireland. The steps below cover where to look for courses, campuses, and application or contact routes, plus what to check when a page is hard to find.

Finding Course Information

ATU's homepage is the entry point for course discovery. The site presents the university as combining academic and research excellence with quality of life and opportunity, and its known subject strengths include Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Engineering.

Step-by-step

  1. Open atu.ie in your browser.
  2. Use the main navigation menu to locate the course or study section. Course search is typically a top-level item on university homepages.
  3. Enter a subject keyword (for example, "Environmental Science" or "Engineering") or browse by discipline.
  4. Open an individual course page to check the award level, campus location, and entry requirements.
  5. Note the campus listed on each course page — at a multi-campus university, the same subject may be taught at more than one location.

Expected result: you reach a course listing filtered by subject, then a course detail page showing where and at what level it is taught.

Common sticking points

  • Subject names vary. A course may be listed under "Engineering" rather than a specific specialism, so search broadly first.
  • Level matters. Undergraduate, postgraduate, and part-time or lifelong-learning courses can sit in different sections of the site.
  • Course pages list a campus. Always confirm the campus on the course page rather than assuming it is taught at the main site.

Finding Campus and Department Information

Because ATU operates across multiple campuses in the west and northwest of Ireland, campus information is usually reachable from the homepage navigation or a dedicated "Campuses" or "Locations" section.

What to look for

What you need Where to look What to confirm
List of campuses Main navigation or "About" section Campus names and their counties
Department or school pages Faculty/school links from the courses area Which school teaches your subject
Campus-specific facilities Individual campus pages Address, facilities, and local contacts
Maps and travel Campus page or contact section Directions and location details

Step-by-step

  1. From the homepage, open the "About" or "Campuses" area.
  2. Select the campus relevant to your course.
  3. Check the campus page for address, facilities, and any department listings.
  4. Cross-check the campus named on your course page against the campus page — they should match.

Expected result: you can name the campus where your course is taught and find its location details.

Finding Application and Contact Routes

Application entry points depend on what you are applying for, so identify your category first.

  • Undergraduate applicants: look for an "Admissions" or "Apply" section in the main navigation. In Ireland, undergraduate applications generally run through the Central Applications Office (CAO); check the ATU admissions pages for the route that applies to you.
  • Postgraduate and research applicants: these usually have separate admissions pages linked from the postgraduate course listings.
  • International applicants: look for an "International" section covering entry requirements and fees for your country.
  • General enquiries: use the contact details on the relevant campus or department page rather than a single generic address.

Expected result: you reach the correct admissions page for your applicant type and have a contact route for follow-up questions.

Practical Tips

  • Use site search. If the navigation is unclear, the site's search box is often the fastest route to a specific course or campus page.
  • Bookmark course pages. Course details and entry requirements can change between intakes, so re-check the page close to applying.
  • Confirm before travelling. If you plan to visit a campus, verify the address and any visitor arrangements on the campus page first.
  • Check the page's own links. Admissions and fees information is often linked from course pages, which keeps you on the correct route for that specific course.

The homepage itself is the reliable starting point: from there, the course search, campus listings, and admissions sections are the three routes that answer most questions about studying at ATU.
