DkIT’s Flexible and Professional Learning Bucks National Trend!
Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) has a proud legacy of providing flexible, professional and industry recognised part-time education and the Institute is pleased to announce that it is now open for applications to its Spring 2024 suite of courses.
DkIT’s part-time student intake for 2022/2023 saw the Institute buck the national trend. While enrolments nationally fell by 8% over the past 12 months DKIT saw its numbers grow 4%. One fifth of DkIT’s total student body now study part-time.
The Institute is also delighted to report that this Autumn’s applications were up 24% on the same period last year with students drawn from all over the northeast and beyond. The top counties from which DkIT’s part-time students hail from are Louth (30%), Dublin (19%), Meath (9%), Monaghan (6%), Cork (5%), Cavan (4%) and Galway (2%).
Anton Barrett, DkIT’s Head of Lifelong Learning said
“We are delighted with the ongoing growth in our part-time student numbers. Contributing to this growth is the expansion of our online and blended course offerings along with our courses being particularly industry focused. Part-time study is a great way to support career progression. Whether you are striving for a promotion in your current workplace or want to move to a different field but are facing some skills and knowledge shortfalls, then continuing education can play a key role in your career progression. Studying part-time gives you the opportunity to return to education, upskill or reskill, without putting the rest of your life on hold. And at DkIT we strive to create a welcoming and encouraging learning environment so you can comfortably fit your academic ambitions around your life circumstances”.
DkIT’s part-time courses are particularly suitable for those who wish to study new topics and course areas, update their professional skills, or add to their qualifications. Accredited courses are available in the areas of Business, Humanities, Hospitality, Teaching & Learning, Engineering, Computing & Creative Arts and Health & Science. So, if you wish to progress your career or fancy a work change in 2024, DkIT have a great array of part-time courses starting this January 2024.
