But don't just take our word...
“I completed a National Cert and a National Diploma in Electronic Engineering, and following this transferred into the Bachelor of Technology in Electronic Engineering, from which I graduated in 2004. During my third year of the degree course I completed a seven-month work placement in Intel. Having successfully completed the placement I was offered a permanent job during my final year and now am a full time employee of Intel Ireland.
My time in WIT was thoroughly enjoyable. The lecturers were always extremely helpful and were very approachable. The wide range of engineering subjects and practical applications were extremely beneficial to me in gaining a wide range of knowledge, allowing for development into any number of disciplines.
