Steps to Success at LIT
Steps to Success at LIT
Choosing the right programme is the first step
towards your future career and LIT, we have designed
our programmes in a flexible way that enables
students to exit programmes at various levels. There
are three entry levels to LIT at undergraduate level.
• Higher Certificate (Level 6) programmes
• Bachelor Degree (Level 7) programmes
• Honours Bachelor Degree (Level 8) programmes
Students who enter LIT at any level, can either choose
to graduate at that level or progress to the next level,
assuming the required grades are achieved (and
progression programme available).
For example a student who enters LIT at Higher
Certificate Level 6 graduates on successful completion
of Year 2 and can either progress to an add-on Level 7
Degree programme or exit the programme. Successful
completion of a Level 7 Degree programme allows
students to advance to a Level 8 Honours Degree.
Students that successfully complete Level 8 Honours
Degree programmes are eligible to progress to
postgraduate programmes.
All programmes at LIT fit within the National
Framework of Qualifications (NFQ) – the official
system of qualification recognition in Ireland. The
NFQ, which consists of ten levels is used to describe
the Irish qualifications system and allows students
and employers to compare and contrast the level and
standard of different qualifications and to ensure that
they are quality assured and recognised at home and
abroad. In the programme information section of this
publication, the programme level and award type to
which each programme leads is outlined.
