Embarking on a journey to study in a foreign country is a tapestry of excitement, discovery, and, admittedly, a few challenges along the way. At ATU, the International Student Society (ISS) stands as a beacon of support, camaraderie, and inclusion, ensuring that this journey is not just about academic growth but also about personal and cultural enrichment. Here’s how the ISS is making a difference in the lives of international students, crafting a vibrant, inclusive community far from home.

1. Building Bridges Across Cultures:

At the heart of the ISS’s mission is the belief that diversity enriches us all. Through an array of cultural exchange events, from weekly events to traditional karaoke nights, the ISS encourages students to share their heritage and learn from one another. These events are not just about fun; they’re pivotal in building understanding, respect, and lasting friendships among students from diverse backgrounds.

2. A Social Sanctuary:

Navigating a new country can be daunting, but the ISS makes sure you’re never alone. With social activities ranging from scenic trips around the stunning landscapes of Ireland to cosy movie nights, the society provides ample opportunities for students to connect, unwind, and create memories that last a lifetime. These gatherings are the threads that weave the fabric of our tight-knit international community at ATU.

3. A Voice for Every Student:

Inclusion means ensuring every voice is heard. The ISS acts as a liaison between international students and ATU Global Office, advocating for policies and practices that consider the diverse needs of its international body. From accommodation concerns to visa advice, the society ensures that students’ needs and concerns are addressed, fostering a sense of belonging and security.
