Welcome
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 Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest 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.
Professor Vincent CunnanePresident, LIT

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.”

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.”

The Faculty is organised into three academic departments:• Department of Built Environment• Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering• Department of Mechanical 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.”

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.”

CampusLocationsBy locating the institute in a number of campuses, LIT creates communities of learning, rooted in our ethos of learning together and combining theory and practice.
It means that you will not be lost in LIT. You will be part of a community. Here, you are not just a number. You will know your classmates and you will be supported and encouraged by your lecturers. You will get to know many other students and will have the opportunity to network and share ideas.
That is why LIT scores at the very top of Irish student surveys for friendliness, access to lecturers and diversity. This is something that we are very proud of.

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.
