Hey folks!
Will hopefully be starting in DIT Aungier St in September (pending LC results!) but I'm 20 too because I repeated the Leaving Cert (bless my patience! )
Hoping to get a job while I'm there and work weekends, since I'm from the Midlands and commuting back and forth every week would be ridiculously expensive!
Also hoping to get my own accommodation as the student accommodation appears quite restrictive (though that could just be me! )

Anywho, just thought I'd say hey! Might see some of you around in September!

DT212 Science, anyone? Never would have thought for the life of me, I'd possibly end up studying science.

Anyone else possibly joining me?

Hey dudes, how's it going?

I've received an unconditional offer for DT090E - MSc in Engineering Simulation and Modelling, and i was wondering if u got any idea about the timetable and how is this course like? I hold a Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics Engineering and have worked a while on development and manufacturing engineering areas.

Thanks all!

Hi All

I have been lucky enough to be accepted into DIT for the forthcoming BA Hons in Social Care. I am a mature student and judging by the photographs on their website of previous 'mature' students on planned social events.....I would say I'm VERY mature. They all look very young!That doesn't deter me however, I slot in everywhere and make friends easy. There is not a day goes by that I don't log on to the DIT website to navigate my way around the information provided and I have joined the DIT Mature Society on facebook, and the DIT students union on facebook. I'm totally embracing this student life and will crack up with laughter the day I get my student card!! Roll on september

Anna, there were four mature students out of ~25 in my first year. With some shared classes, it meant that there were at least four people over the age of forty in many of the classes. To be honest, it's a much better environment the more mixed it is, and everybody is more than happy to have some older faces around. Many mature students come in via the DIT Access programme, so you're unlikely to be the only one. I'm led to believe that the support services for mature students are very good too.

[GaelicAnna]

Thanks for that Aard. I agree, its more interesting and varied when there is a mix of backrounds. We all have something that we can bring to the table. I didn't get in via the Access route, I applied through the CAO. I'm so excited.

I just got accepted into 2nd year of Journalism, after last week being told that the course was completely full! Delighted.

[ConTheCat]

Hmm feel like I'm missing out, haven't been offered a place in any of my courses Really looking forward to it all now but at the same time I'm crapping it Accomodation is going to be the worst :/

This could be due to several reasons:

>> You will be assessed along with all of the other LCs in August
>> You have not been successfull in obtaining a place , due to grades

If I where a betting man, I'd say it's the first one, as even though you already have the results, your still entering using that route, and they don't review leaving certs unti august.

I got my place on DT211 offered in July this year as I deferred it last year, and last year I also got it in July as I entered VIA FETAC.

I would assume it was the same case for a lot of others here.

I would advise to give admissions a quick call and or email, they where VERY helpfull to me in the past , they may be even able to tell you if you have a place or not.

Hey FTS

I'm a mature student... saw a few posted in previous years that deferred placed and a lot of DIT placed generally were in the August round.
