ATU welcomes students to Open Day to Sligo Campuses

Atlantic Technological University (ATU) looks forward to welcoming prospective students and their families to Sligo for the final Open Day of the academic year on Saturday, May 10. 

This event will take place from 10am to 1pm on both the Sligo and St Angela's campuses. 

The Open Day is an excellent opportunity to discover all that Sligo has to offer as a university destination. Interested students and their families are encouraged to attend, as a packed schedule of events will ensure no questions remain unanswered. 

Open Day visitors will have the opportunity to talk with academics, current students and the many student support teams available at ATU. With over 80 programmes across both campuses in the areas of Business and Social Sciences, Engineering and Design; Science; Education, Home Economics; Food Business and Nursing - there really is something for everyone.  

Visitors will also see first-hand the modern campus facilities through a mixture of interactive workshops, demonstrations, talks and campus tours.  

A free shuttle bus will be in operation between ATU Sligo and ATU St Angelas with additional buses providing tours of the purpose-built student accommodation villages as well as the impressive Yeats Academy of Arts, Design and Architecture (YAADA) facility. 

With just over three weeks to go until the Leaving Cert exams, Seán Lally, The Study Coach will join the ATU Sligo campus to advise on the latest science of brain performance to help students maximise their time and boost memory skills for their exams. 

Visitors will receive a goodie bag which includes a Sligo Discount Sheet offering up to 15% discount at various coffee shops, restaurants and clothes shops in Sligo, Strandhill and Rosses Point. Meanwhile, a parking voucher will allow Free Parking at several Sligo County Council carparks on the day to enable visitors to make the most of their time in Sligo for the day. 

Open days highlight the best that ATU have to offer as an opportunity to discover the wide range of CAO study options in Sligo for September 2025. The free CAO Change of Mind Facility runs from May 6 to July 1, which means there is still time to select ATU as part of your CAO application.  For more information and to register for open day, visit atu.ie/openday.
