Ireland's first technological university, TU Dublin was formed in 2019 when Dublin Institute of Technology merged with the institutes in Tallaght and Blanchardstown. Most teaching has moved to the new Grangegorman campus on the north side of the city. It covers engineering, computing, architecture, business, culinary arts and the creative arts, with a practical, industry-linked style.
