Student Story

“The flexibility of the part-time course at DkIT meant that I could work during the day and log onto the online classes in the evening. I only needed to come to the campus in Dundalk 3-4 times each semester, which was a massive bonus.”

Christopher Boyle, Pipeline Technical Director, Boulder Media | Higher Diploma in 3D Computer Animation
