Dundalk IT induction welcomes new students

As students across the country take the next stage of their education, Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) has welcomed nearly 1,400 first-year students to its campus for college induction.

The programme marked the start of their academic journey across a diverse range of degree courses.

Throughout the induction, students explored the campus on guided tours and attended presentations by staff and the Students’ Union, gaining an introduction to the wide range of support services and opportunities available at DkIT.

CAO course acceptances rose by 7% this year, with programmes such as Engineering, Construction and Nursing seeing notable increases in popularity.

Part-time courses also saw a large rise in acceptances, with an increase of 18% on the same period in 2024. Top choices here included Business, Agriculture and Animation.
