active learning
through a fusion of
theory and practice
Welcome to the LIT website
LIT was the Sunday Times Institute of the Year 2008-2009, and with good reason! We offer you a wide range of programmes across a number of disciplines all geared to today’s employment needs; our research income is one of the fastest growing among IOTs in Ireland, our campuses have the most up-to-date facilities at your fingertips and we’re renowned for success both academically and in the sporting arena.
At LIT we use the term “Active Learning” to describe the
educational philosophy behind all that you will do; it’s in the way we
provide each first year student with a mentor; the way that teaching is
not just done in the classroom, but in the labs, the studios and computer
suites. Active Learning is hands-on learning; not just learning the theory,
but experiencing the practical side of your chosen programme.
What’s one of the best parts about coming to LIT, you might ask?
It has to be the choice – not only with programmes available to you, but
with how to achieve what you want out of your education. You can get your
Degree, your way!
We offer both ladder approach programmes, which means you
build-up from a base of two years for a Higher Certificate, add one more
year for a Degree, and another year for an Honours Degree; and ab-initio
programmes which take four years straight for an Honours Degree – with
most of these programmes offering a work placement in Year 3.
Our custom designed programmes have been created to meet
today’s national and international employment needs; with Ireland’s
current and future economy in mind, LIT is continually developing new
programmes and improving existing programmes to make sure you get the
most well-rounded educational experience possible.
Welcome to the LIT family: Love IT, Live IT, Learn IT! - Dr. Maria G. Hinfelaar, President.
