Friends of the
University for the South East

Many of the education needs in the South East have been served by the strengths of WIT and before when it was WRTC. However, for a long time, there has been a much greater need for access to a top-quality, university-level facility, for the population of the South East. WIT has grown from strength to strength to become the Sunday Times highest-ranked Institute of Technology in the country (3 times) and is leading the way in undergraduate student development and postgraduate/career research. WIT is the leading Institute of Technology in Ireland for Horizon 2020 funding from the EU, its award tally is greater than that of all other Institute’s of Technology combined. It stands apart.
please note that neither WIT nor IT Carlow is affiliated with FUSE in any way
