Mumbai: Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) has appointed The Reppro as its communications partner in India, as it looks to enhance institutional visibility and thought leadership amid rising demand for industry-integrated Engineering and IT education.
Under the mandate, The Reppro will lead media relations and support TUS’s outreach across education, business, and technology media, with a focus on strengthening its presence among Indian students and stakeholders. The partnership also aims to highlight Ireland’s growing role as a European technology hub.
The development comes at a time when Indian students are increasingly seeking international programmes that combine academic learning with industry-linked training, particularly in Engineering and Information Technology. Ireland has emerged as a preferred destination, hosting the European headquarters of several global technology companies and offering proximity to innovation ecosystems.
Dr Niall Colgan said, “Engineering and IT education today has to stay closely connected to industry. Our programmes are built with industry partners so that students develop applied skills relevant to global technology environments. India has become an important market for internationally mobile and AI technology talent, and clear communication about our academic model and career outcomes is essential as engagement with Indian students expands.”
Through its network of seven campuses, including key locations in Athlone and Limerick, TUS offers undergraduate and postgraduate programmes developed in collaboration with industry partners. The university works with companies such as Ericsson, Valeo, and Cisco to integrate applied learning and real-world exposure into its curriculum. Its IT portfolio includes specialised MSc programmes in Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Native Computing, Cybersecurity, and Software Engineering.
Commenting on the mandate, Amit Gupta said, “India has become one of the most closely watched markets for international technology education. As students look more carefully at career outcomes and industry exposure, universities need to communicate clearly about how their programmes connect with real technology ecosystems. Our role will be to build sustained visibility for TUS and bring greater clarity to the conversation around Engineering and IT pathways linked to Ireland’s innovation economy.”
