Local Munster Winner

Established in 2007, the Downtown Centre is an access, guidance and support centre for adults who are seeking to progress to higher education.

The Centre is a collaborative initiative of the Shannon Consortium partners - the University of Limerick, Limerick Institute of Technology, Mary Immaculate College and the Institute of Technology Tralee - and is funded by the Higher Education Authority Strategic Innovation Fund, Cycle One.

The Centre aims to attract a diversity of applicants to higher education by providing a small, welcoming and accessible environment in which adults can seek information and guidance on progressing to third-level education and can attend information seminars and workshops to support them in making their decision about their third-level learning options
