ATU Sligo Students' Union
The ATU Sligo Students’ Union (ATUSSU) is a democratic organisation run by students for students. Once you join ATU Sligo you automatically become a member of the Students’ Union.
Whilst they organise lots of fun events throughout the year, they are also a valuable support to students who may be having issues. They represent you, support you and make sure you have an unforgettable university experience.
