Main Campus

• TUS Athlone

  Before starting in TUS Athlone you can contact the Disability Support Service to arrange a campus tour. As part of student induction, all students are shown relevant parts of the campus. For the first week there are student helpers on campus to help new students find their way. Although the campus may been large and daunting, most students only use the same few classrooms/labs over and over so you do not need to be familiar with the whole campus.

  For a comprehensive guide to places where you can relax and reflect on campus, check out our TUS Athlone Quiet Spaces Linktree
