What our students say

“I honestly enjoyed every moment of my work placement in the HR Department in Bulmers.

The knowledge I gained and the skills I developed will be of great benefit to me in my future career.�

BBS (Hons) (Human Resource Management) WD048 - Martina Quinn

"The social life in WIT and the sense of community within the college are what I have enjoyed most. I have made many lifelong friends and will graduate a very happy and confident person.

I also loved being a member of the equestrian team as I had the opportunity to meet students from other departments and from other colleges at the Inter-varsity Championships each year.

Within the Department of Architecture I especially enjoyed my final year. The thesis was a chance to explore my personal interests in architecture. We also developed our thesis ideas in groups of students and tutors which was an inspiring and enjoyable process."

"This course has given me the opportunity to develop myself as a coach and progress up the coaching ladder. The course provides students with a broad knowledge of athletic performance ranging from Strength and Conditioning to the Psychology of Sports Performance. As part of the course you are encouraged to participate in coaching awards in a variety of sports which I had no previous experience of and this alone has already helped me when coaching within my own sport.

The classes are small enough for everybody to be heard and the lecturers know you on a first name basis which adds to the quality of the learning experience. I feel that this course will provide me with the necessary qualifications and experiences to get a coaching position at elite level, and this is not something I would have gotten anywhere else."

"My name is Brendan O’Connor and I am a recent graduate of the BA (Hons) Law course at WIT. Currently, I am studying for a LLM (Masters of Law) in Trinity College, Dublin.

I chose the BA (Hons) in Law course as I wanted to enter the legal profession and the programme was accredited and affiliated with both the Kings Inn (Barrister) and Blackhall Place (Solicitor) examinations. I found the course to be both interesting and extremely useful, not just for those entering the legal profession, but for those students considering other careers such as: politics, journalism, insurance and banking. I found the environment at WIT to be very friendly and the law lecturers were very approachable and were clearly dedicated to their students.

My overall career aim is to sit my solicitor exams in October 2012. I have no doubt that but for quality lecturing and the wonderful experience I had on the BA (Hons) Law, I would not be in the position I am in today."

"Food Science with Business (Level 7) provided the perfect stepping stone to the level 8 programme. Lecturers provided invaluable help on a one to one basis which gives the student a more in-depth understanding of the course material. Each module was tied together perfectly with knowledge from one module being applicable in another module.

The skills which were obtained in Food Science & Innovation (WD181 Level 8) gave me the confidence to apply for an internship as assistant winemaker in the US. Studying at the Moorepark Research Centre was really beneficial and gave a flavour of the cutting edge research in food process technology and research.

With great friends and constantly available support from my course leader and lecturers at WIT, Food Science & Innovation was a joy to be a part of and I can see myself in a management role and progressing to Masters/PhD level."
