“My three years in WIT were a wonderful experience. The balance of subjects gave me an excellent grounding for the field I was entering while the overall experience contributed greatly to my personal development”.

“I graduated in 1990 with a Bachelor of Business in Sport and Recreation from WIT. I worked in a hotel leisure centre for a short period of time before taking a position as an instructor on a FÁS Sport and Recreation course. I returned to WIT in 1995 to take the BA (Hons) in Recreation and Leisure. The introduction of the add-on Degree was a very important stepping-stone for me in my lecturing career. On graduating I returned to my job with FÁS before taking up a part-time position lecturing in WIT. I completed an MSc in the Sociology of Sport and Sport Management in 2001 and I took up a full-time lecturing position in Sport and Recreation with Athlone I.T.
The sport and recreation lecturing staff were both professional and friendly and always had an open door policy to the students. I very much enjoyed my time in WIT and many of the friends I made remain close friends to this day”.

“I entered into WIT in September 2003.
I am studying BA (Hons) in Exercise and Health Studies, which is a relatively new course. I chose to do this course because of the broad spectrum of study within it. You are never stuck to one area of work afterwards and there are plenty of options for further study. I work in a gym part time which helps because I see some of the theory in practice.
I am so glad I made the choice to study at WIT. The campus is great and I have made so many friends over the past two years, which makes college life ‘plain sailing’! Everybody you meet is so friendly. I’d recommend the BA (Hons) in Exercise and Health studies to anyone who likes to work with people and has a genuine interest in different health issues.”

“There is a huge demand for health promotion professionals in Ireland (and the rest of the world) today. WIT was one of the first colleges to recognise this and offer a course to meet this demand. I have no doubt but that it was the right choice of course and college for me!”.
Ann Brien, BA (Hons) in Health Promotion
