Ireland

South East Technological University (SETU) is the only public university in the southeast of Ireland. Established in 2022, SETU is a multi-campus institution serving more than 18,000 students and 2000 staff. The university has an excellent reputation for research, innovation, and internationalization, but is student-centered with small class sizes. Nazareth students will study and live on their main campus in the suburbs of the city of Waterford.

 As the oldest city in Ireland, Waterford was founded by the Vikings more than a thousand years ago. An important seaport, the city has an historic downtown filled with museums, ancient fortifications, brightly painted murals, restaurants, pubs, and of course, the world-famous Waterford Crystal factory. The nearby Copper Coast is considered to be Ireland’s wildest, most undeveloped coastline, and is filled with beautiful seaside towns, hidden coves, and rock-strewn beaches.
