We are looking forward to welcoming you to Munster Technological University.
During New Student Orientation, you will be connected with the MTU staff and student community that will foster new friendships and support you throughout your college career. Due to the ongoing C19 pandemic restrictions and preventative measures, MTU's new student orientation will be virtual for the incoming class of September 2021 and will be scheduled during the week commencing 20th September 2021.
Circumstances permitting, it is planned that new first year undergraduate student's will commence their programme of study on the week of 27th September 2021. While we will try to maximise onsite delivery, there will be lots of module delivery in virtual or online mode also.
Minimising the risk of introduction of COVID-19 onto campus and the spread of the virus, is a responsibility we all share and requires a shared commitment from each of us as we modify the way we live, learn, and work together.
We must all do our part to take care of ourselves and one another — remaining flexible in constantly changing circumstances, adopting new norms, and adhering to public health requirements that will minimise the risks of COVID-19 and protect all of us.
As part of registration, you are required to agree to student Rights and Responsibilities which are extended to cover COVID-19 related information. In particular, you must not attend onsite institute activities if you are experiencing symptoms that could be associated with COVID-19 infection, if you have been in close contact with an individual known to be infected with COVID-19 or if you have travelled internationally within the previous 14 days.
