Flexible Learning is really important to

everyone in LIT. It’s something that we

do well, and something that is beneficial

for learners in a whole range of ways.

This handbook may well be one of the first

steps you take on your journey in lifelong

learning. As well as providing information

on our programmes, it also contains contact

details for our staff, who can help and

advise you on your journey in education.

I really would encourage you to use those

contacts and reach out to us for help with

any queries or questions you may have.

Making the decision to join a programme

is not always an easy one – but many

people have successfully made that

decision in the past, and many will do so

in the future. Few if any ever regret it.

In independent benchmark surveys, we

consistently perform at the top of the

range in terms of our access to lecturers,

friendliness and diversity. That’s a good

recipe for successful lifelong learning.

The AIT/LIT consortium

will develop a new, unique

technological university that

will provide accessible higher

education to a large portion

of the country’s population

while strengthening our

commitment to our regions.

We understand the issues that face our flexible

learners, and we have a range of supports in

place for you every step of the way. Whether

you decide to join a CPD programme, a

vocational programme or one of our Masters

programmes, you are joining a community in LIT.

For many of you, the end point of your

education journey in LIT is likely to mean

improved career prospects, higher earning

potential, or a career change. For some of

you, it may mean personal development or

pursuit of a new interest. No matter what kind

of learner you are, LIT can be a place where

your journey is enjoyable and worthwhile.

I look forward to welcoming you on board.

Please note that the information contained in this

prospectus is correct at time of print.

Faculty of

Applied Science,

Engineering &

Technology

The Faculty of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology provides

a wide and diverse range of part-time programmes. Our ambition as

a Faculty is to continue to be at the forefront of new technological

developments, to design new and innovative programmes and to

support our local and national industry and commercial sector.

The Faculty is organised into five academic departments:

• Department of Applied Science

• Department of Built Environment

• Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering

• Department of Information Technology

• Department of Mechanical & Automobile Engineering

I was familiar with the Aviation programmes for some years and

knew that the material was developed and delivered by industry

experts whom I know and respect. The course was initially delivered

in the classroom but as it evolved, I was delighted to see that a

method of flexible blended delivery opened up the opportunity for

me to participate as I travel a lot for work.

The Course Director Jane and all the lecturers were very committed

and helpful with any issues I had as I sat the programme. I have now

successfully completed four, ten credit modules with LIT.

Thanks to LIT I have now progressed my career and my journey

in education continues.”

Faculty of

Business &

Humanities

The Faculty of Business and Humanities is an innovative, dynamic

and quality driven faculty within the Limerick Institute of Technology.

The faculty thrives on offering its students the relevant supports, skills

and competences to equip them to deal with the challenges they

will encounter in the workplace of their chosen discipline area.

The Faculty is organised into four academic departments:

• Department of Applied Social Sciences

• Department of Business & Financial Services

• Department of Marketing, Enterprise & Digital Communications

• Department of Sport, Leisure & Tourism

The Higher Diploma in Business Management programme was an

enriching experience and a positive stepping stone into a new career.

What I especially liked in the flexible learning option was that it offered

smaller group settings, with students from various backgrounds.

Everyone brought forth a wide range of professional experience which

was conducive to interesting group discussions.

Lecturers were available and attentive to students’ needs, adapting as

necessary. Each lecturer was friendly and very knowledgeable in his/

her specific field. Each went the extra mile to deliver relevant content

to keep students engaged. The workload was very manageable.

Assignments were well-balanced, meaningful and helped deepen

understanding of concepts seen in class. I would highly recommend

this program to anyone who is seeking the opportunity to further

their education.”

School of

Art & Design

Limerick School of Art & Design (LSAD) is a world-renowned centre

of fine art and design with an award winning reputation. It is one of

the most significant providers of art and design education on the

island of Ireland. LSAD offers students a cultural context for their

creative development, where they are taught by leading practitioners

in the field, where they can access outstanding workshop, studio

and exhibition facilities and where their education is informed by

the latest development in the wider world of art and design.

LSAD Campus Locations include:

• Clare Street Campus, Limerick

• Georges Quay Limerick

• LIT Clonmel Campus

I found the 3D Animation and VFX programme at LIT

to be very family friendly. The mix of weekend classes

and online content suited my family circumstances

brilliantly. Also, I found the staff to be extremely

professional, helpful and easy to engage with.

They delivered the course material in a way that

was very accessible and easy understand. Overall

it gave me a solid foundation in 3D and VFX and I

would be far more confident moving forward with

a career in the animation and film industry now.

I would highly recommend anyone considering career

development or a change in career direction to

consider the 3D animation & VFX programmes at LIT.”

AWARDING BODIES

Quality and Qualifications Ireland

(QQI) makes awards in further and higher education and training

SEC - State Examinations Commission

(Department of Education and Skills)

Institutes of Technology

Universities

The European Credit Transfer and

Accumulation System (ECTS) is an

academic credit system based on the

estimated student workload required

to achieve the objectives and learning

outcomes of a module or programme of

study. It is designed to enable academic

recognition for periods of study, to

facilitate student mobility and credit

accumulation and transfer. The ECTS

is the recommended credit system for

higher education in Ireland and across

the European Higher Education Area.

AWARDS IN THE FRAMEWORK

There are four classes of award in the National Framework of Qualifications:

Major Awards: named in the outer rings, are the principal class

of awards made at a level

Minor Awards: are for partial completion of the outcomes

for a Major Award

Supplemental Awards: are for learning that is additional

to a Major Award

Special Purpose Awards: are for relatively narrow or

purpose-specific achievement

For further Information consult: www.nfq.ie www.QQI.ie ©QQI 2014

What are Learning Credits?

ECTS

ECTS express the volume of learning based

on defined learning outcomes and their

associated workload and are expressed in

full numbers. 1 ECTS equates to approximately

20 to 25 hours student work.

For example: 60 ECTS credits are allocated

to the learning outcomes and associated

workload of a full-time academic year or

its equivalent. A full-time honours degree

is usually 240 ECTS spread over 4 years.

LIT Flexible Learning offer short

programmes of 10 ECTS up to full

awards of 120, 180 and 240 ECTS.
