We have a student population of 5,000, the majority of whom study at ATU Donegal on a full-time basis which makes for a vibrant on-campus atmosphere.

All of this makes for a brilliant student experience and it’s easy to see why ATU Donegal is attracting more students than ever before.

ATU Donegal’s sporting teams compete in higher education and university competitions throughout the sporting calendar. The men's and ladies’ sports teams have grown from strength-to-strength under the leadership of Michael Murphy, Head of Sport at ATU Donegal.

The ATU Donegal gyms are located in both our Letterkenny and Killybegs campuses.

The gyms are free-to-use for all students and they offer daily exercise classes to students who like to train within a small group setting. Current facilities include an on-campus floodlit pitch and indoor training facility, multi-purpose sports centre and a modern fitness suite.

ATU Donegal Letterkenny Letterkenny is a lively town, offering excellent shopping, a vibrant nightlife and great opportunities for part-time work, sport, culture and fun.

Sligo’s stunning location also lends itself to outdoor options ranging from golf, water sports and horse riding to hill walking, mountain biking and cycling.
