Dundalk Institute of Technology

Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) has earned a reputation as the leading higher education provider in the North East of Ireland. Through our graduates and our work in regional development, we have contributed to the transformation of our region. Our reputation has been solidly built by providing quality educational opportunities in a broad range of disciplines from undergraduate degree to PhD level.

At DkIT you are offered the opportunity to build your qualifications over time, from Higher Certificate through to Degree, Masters and Doctorate level. The College is committed to ensuring that students are afforded the opportunity to develop their full potential in a professional and supportive environment. The college has four Schools, and each School has several Departments offering a wide range of courses. You can also study part-time at the Lifelong Learning Centre.

Student Services, which operates under the umbrella of the Registrar's Office, is the section of the Institute which deals explicitly with non-academic supports for students.

Staff in Student Services work closely with all other areas of the Institute, including the Students' Union, to ensure that the welfare of students is paramount. Most of the services are situated in the Padraig Faulkner Building , adjacent to the Multi-purpose Centre.

Our mission is to enhance the individual student experience by providing an accessible, efficient and excellent service which supports the holistic development of the person, thereby enabling each student to achieve their full potential.

The primary function of the Sports and Societies office is to provide administrative backup, advisory and support services for all registered Sports and Societies to enable them to function and operate to their maximum potential. The office is also responsible for the administration and accountability of the Sports and Societies budget.

Every single Sport and Society in the Institute is dependent on the full involvement of its members for its operation, particularly those who are willing to give some of their time to become involved in committee work.

Whether you want to share common interests or hobbies, voice ideas, engage in debates or be a bit of a social butterfly, there is an extensive range of Sports Clubs and Societies that you can join. College is a time of learning so why not take up something new?

DKIT supports, funds and resources Sports Clubs and Societies on campus to encourage students to be active, involved and enthused, so make your mark on student life.
