and employers in the Mid West region to identify skills needs and areas for

educational development. To date we have collaborated with some of the

leading companies in the Mid West to deliver tailored upskilling programmes

to suit their employee’s needs. These programmes can range from short

term Special Purpose Awards to address a specific skill need, to longer-term

programmes. Delivery methods are flexible in nature and can be a combination

of online, on-site, day release, evening classes or weekend workshops.

Our Collaborative

Partners Include

Explore Engineering is an industry-led group with

strong links to educational institutions in the Mid

West region. Explore Engineering has a particular

focus on encouraging female students to enter

the predominantly male-occupied engineering

sector. This aligns with their brand motto that

“Engineering is for Everyone”.

The Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology provides a wide

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

developments, to design new and innovative programmes and to

support our local and national industry and commercial sector.

The Faculty is organised into three academic departments:

• Department of Information Technology

I studied the part time Certificate in Bioprocessing in LIT.

This course opened the door for me in Regeneron where I

have just started as a Process Science Associate. I have two

small kids so it was challenging to find time to study but the

flexibility of the online course makes it possible. The classes

were recorded so you can watch them at the time that

suits you. The most interesting part of the course was the

laboratories in LIT where we could put into practice what

we had learnt during the lectures. As the class was small

we had a great connection and communication with the

lecturers. They were very nice and helpful, always willing to

give us extra time. My favourite subjects were Bioprocessing

and Cell Biology.”

Faculty of

Business &

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.


• 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.”

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.”

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.”

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.
