About the Institute
Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT) is a vibrant, modern
Institute and is recognised as one of the leading and most
innovative institutes in Ireland. Our main campus is located at
Moylish Park on the northern side of Limerick City in the shadow
of Thomond Park, home of Munster Rugby and the Limerick
School of Art and Design (LSAD) is based on the Clare Street
campus, nested within the historic walls of Limerick city.
LIT is continually working towards wider participation of adult learners. The hallmark
of our educational philosophy is active learning through a fusion of theory and
practice. This emphasis coupled with continuous assessment helps to ease the exam
pressures for students, while also providing graduates with a competitive advantage,
ensuring strong demand for LIT graduates in the workplace.
