INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY<br />
About the Institute<br />
The <strong>Dublin</strong> Institute of Technology ıs a multı-centre thırd level<br />
ınstıtutıon wıth a long hıstory of supportıng adult learners,<br />
partıcularly ın part-tıme and evenıng modes. We encourage<br />
adult learners to return to full-tıme educatıon and aım to<br />
provıde practıcal support to help prospectıve students make<br />
what can sometımes be a dıffıcult transıtıon.<br />
Currently there are almost 600 mature students ın our full-tıme student populatıon<br />
(approximately 10,000) and about 4,000 mature students attending evening<br />
programmes. DIT greatly values the contrıbutıon of non-tradıtıonal students to the lıfe<br />
of the Instıtute and we hope to ıncrease theır representatıon substantıally over the<br />
comıng years.<br />
