for TU designation.
2013 Joint supplementary submission to the Landscape Document (Stage 1).
2014 Stage 2 submission completed and approved by the HEA and International Panel (Stage 3).
2015 MTU Integration Agreement approved by both Governing Bodies.
2016 MTU Project Office established and Project Management Framework created.
2017 - ongoing MTU Governance Board established and personnel recruited.
Commitments Made
- MTU Integration Agreement (2015)
Quality of the Student Experience
An essential foundation ethos of the new university is that there is parity of esteem
between two campuses in Cork and Kerry, and having regard to the variety of the student
body in the future, that the quality of the student experience in both major campuses,
supported by appropriate levels of student services, will be consistent with one another.
Staff as a Key Stakeholder
The MTU will continue as directed by the Minster to honour all nationally
negotiated contracts and national agreements with respect to the terms and
conditions of staff. There will be no compulsory redundancies and there will
be no compulsory redeployment between the Cork and Kerry campuses.

Commitments Made
- MTU Integration Agreement (2015)
University Culture
To ensure the creation of a single Student Brand Experience
across the Kerry and Cork campuses, we recognise the need
to protect the unique ethos of both campuses and their
ability to respond to regional needs. The parties see this as
being one of the key enablers of MTU.
