The education here is transformative, with dedicated staff who genuinely care about student success, and I've watched my child blossom into a confident learner.

I studied Business in AIT from 2008-2011 after retiring from football. I had not been in the education system for eleven years prior to going to AIT so it was a daunting prospect to go back to that environment. The help & advice I got from staff in the college was fantastic. AIT gave me a new lease of life after football and I am always grateful to them for that. The sports facilities are A1, so if playing sports or general fitness is your thing then AIT can help take you to the next level.

This institute is situated in a rural part of Ireland. The facilities for international students are good. The faculty are very cooperative & helpful. The cafeteria is a bit expensive.

Recent upgrades to the sports facilities and a whole new engineering building. Looks really nice. Quite large and a whole lot of different courses to choose from. A good choice to get a degree from.

I started my studies in Sport and progressed to do a Masters degree over a five year period in Athlone I.T. I couldn't speak highly enough of the campus as the facilities and the staff are both excellent.

I studied a Masters in Accounting in AIT, I really enjoyed my time there. I found the staff and lecturers extremely helpful, approachable and obliging. There is a really nice atmosphere around the campus and plenty of sports and social clubs to get involved in. I would highly recommend AIT.
