[Queen's University Belfast 🎓 @QUBelfast]

Exciting news! We have today announced a major new partnership with Dundalk Institute of Technology @DkIT_ie which will see it become a University College of Queen’s.

This new partnership will enhance #StudentMobility and shared learning opportunities across the island of #Ireland, strengthen #Research and #IndustryCollaboration, open up new funding opportunities and support economic and social development within the #DublinBelfastCorridor.

The partnership will see the #Dundalk campus embedded within Queen’s academic and quality assurance systems, meaning that its students will receive the same standard of education and award as those studying in #Belfast.

And from September 2026, students enrolling in the new University College would graduate with a Queen’s degree.

We also plan to develop a joint Research and Innovation Centre on the Dundalk campus, with projects that will focus on areas such as #Health and #LifeSciences, #Energy and #Sustainability.

“This is a hugely significant and exciting development for both institutions. Queen’s and Dundalk Institute of Technology share a strong commitment to #WideningAccess, enhancing research, and supporting #RegionalGrowth.

“Dundalk University College will allow us to deliver high-quality education to more people and strengthen our shared ambition for the wider region. We look forward to signing the Heads of Agreement in December and to welcoming the first cohort of students in 2026.” (Professor Sir Ian Greer, @QUBVChancellor).

Welcome to the Queen’s family, Dundalk Institute of Technology!
