About Us
MTU Kerry North Campus is home to students pursuing qualifications in business, engineering, computing, creative media, event management, nursing, childcare, social care, and health and leisure. It operates on a shared site with Kerry Technology Park. This proximity has enabled the development of links with a range of cutting-edge start-ups, global companies and internationally recognised research centres. Companies operating from the Technology Park provide work placement opportunities for students and work opportunities for graduates. In fact, 25% of those working in the Technology Park are MTU graduates.
The Kerry North Campus is home to the Kerry Sports Academy. This €19m building provides exceptional facilities, which are universally accessible by people of all abilities.
The Sólás nursing centre is a purpose built, state of the art facility, which offers classrooms, meeting rooms, lecture theatres, conference facilities, boardroom, computer laboratories, nursing clinical skills suites and nursing interpersonal skills suites. The fully equipped nursing clinical skills suites are designed to provide a simulated clinical learning environment. The student nurse can learn the clinical skills of nursing through communicating and interacting with peers and experienced facilitators in a safe, non-threatening and friendly setting.
MTU Kerry South Campus is home to the School of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. In addition to classrooms and auditoria, it also offers a range of mechanical workshops, agricultural engineering garages and civil engineering laboratories.
