Waterford Institute of Technology in Ireland

WIT is Ireland’s leading research-informed institute of technology with a global reputation for innovation and research excellence. The Institute has been focused on creativity and research innovation as a driver of the knowledge society for over 20 years and plays a key role in Ireland’s social, cultural, and economic development. 

We are committed to excellence in all aspects of our activities which include educating the next generation leaders through our undergraduate and postgraduate programs; producing highly creative and industry-ready graduates; developing our internationally connected research and innovation eco-system; and evolving our unique model of stakeholder engagement which has had a real impact on our economy. 

The Institute leverages its national and international partnerships with other education institutes, industry, social, and government bodies to ensure the international relevance and excellence of our teaching, research and innovation activities. As President, I recognise also that we must be agile enough to be able to support multiple access paths to education as well as the need to deliver flexible modes of learning for an increasingly diverse student body. Waterford Institute of Technology is a truly international environment with students from 70 countries and strategic collaboration partnerships with over 300 education and industry partners.  We have created an exciting learning environment in the South East of Ireland. I look forward to welcoming you to WIT.  

In our world, you are not just a student but a member of a community that values all aspects of life: learning, sport, arts, community engagement, and, above all, the person. Through education, we open a world of endless possibilities that will challenge, excite and reward you.
