Waterford IT spearheads drive for Asian students

HIGHER education must be more fully recognized as one of Ireland’s greatest marketable assets and its potential value to our economy must be realised, according to academics at Waterford Institute of Technology.

They are bidding to make their campus a multi-cultural hub with a drive to attract Asian students.

The Institute’s Head of Development, Dr Venie Martin, and International Affairs Manager Sinead Cooke have returned from a trade mission to Japan and Korea to promote higher education opportunities in Ireland.
