TUS Student Handbook 2023/24

CLONMEL TOWN
With a population of almost 20,000, Clonmel is
Tipperary’s largest town. A thriving industrial hub and
home to several leading multinational pharmaceutical
companies, it has plenty of shops, restaurants and
lively pubs, and offers lots to do for students living
locally. If you enjoy the great outdoors, Clonmel is
ideally located in a valley surrounded by mountains
and hills including the Comeraghs and Slievenamon.
After a hard day’s work in college, you can enjoy the
beautiful Suir Blueway Tipperary, with 21km of the
53km route accessible by bike or foot, or try your hand
at some of the water sports activities at various points
along the river. Clonmel also has a thriving arts scene
and the annual Junction Arts Festival celebrates
touring theatre and live music, attracting an array of
theatre, music and dance performers each year.
Clonmel Digital Campus
Our Clonmel Digital Campus is part of the renowned
TUS Limerick School of Art & Design, and although
a small campus, it is a vibrant and creative hub
that provides a relaxed and friendly learning space
for students. Our popular and innovative degrees
in Game Art and Design, Digital Animation, Visual
Effects for Film, TV and Animation, and Creative
Media and User Experience Design are based at
the Clonmel campus. A fantastic new addition to
the campus is the €5 million Clonmel Sports Hub
which recently opened on the campus grounds
and includes a 400-metre IAAF standard athletics
track, skatepark, walkways and cycleways.
