Good Start is a programme of AnSEO - the Student Engagement Office
Tús Maith Leath na hOibre! A Good Start is Half the Work!
Many people say that MTU is known for its sense of community, MTU’s Good Start induction programme nurtures this culture by ensuring students feel supported, informed and that they belong in MTU from the very beginning.
Good Start helps new students settle in and get to grips with life at MTU. It covers the whole student experience from being successful and independent, to getting connected and motivating yourself and others.
Good Start returns each year at the beginning of Semester 2 to help students settle back into college after the winter break.
Good Start is co-created with a team of current MTU students known as Good Start Ambassadors, who want to make the transition to MTU a positive experience for new students.
