Over 1,300 students recently graduated from Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT). The students received their parchments at six separate graduation ceremonies on the DkIT campus on 31 October and 1 November. Students from across the four academic schools, the School of Business & Humanities, School of Engineering, School of Informatics & Creative Arts, and the School of Health & Science graduated with qualifications from certificate to PhD level.

Congratulating this year’s graduates Dr Diarmuid O’Callaghan, DkIT president, said: “Graduations are among life’s greatest accomplishments” and that “one of the many gifts of education is that it prepares you for the great unknown that is your future – developing and fostering skills that you are going to need, as well as providing you with the confidence and resilience necessary to apply your acquired qualification in the ever-changing workplace.”

Praising the staff at DkIT for their role in the student’s success, Dr O’Callaghan added: “DkIT is not just a campus. It’s made up of people who proactively put in place much sought after courses and qualifications. We are constantly adapting our programmes so we are continually meeting the changing needs of society and the future economy.”
