IT will host open day as two new courses launched
IT SLIGO has a busy week ahead with an open day and the launch of two new courses.
The open day will be held online this Saturday, April 24, from 10am to 2pm and offers an information packed day for anyone planning on going to college this year.
With virtual tours, live Q&As and course videos there’ll be lots to check out.
A team of academics and support staff will be live online to help students find the right course for them. Potential students will be informed on accommodation, student life and grants. They will also have the opportunity to hear from current IT Sligo students, lecturers and support team.
Last year, the institute was ranked in the top five best performing universities in Ireland by U-Multirank, outscoring larger universities, including Trinity College and University College Dublin, in the independent report. It has also been ranked in the top 10 by the Sunday Times Good University Guide. IT Sligo continues to work with GMIT and LYIT towards a technological university next year, which will make it the largest third-level institute along the west coast. This will mean all new students will therefore graduate from a university from next year.
Potential students can register for a chance win a set of AirPods: https://www.itsligo.ie/cao/registeropenday/.
This week also saw the launch of two new courses. On Tuesday a new level 8 degree in Law and Business was launched online by Sligo solicitor Michelle O’Boyle, a former president of the Law Society of Ireland, and David Minton, director with the Northern and Western Regional Assembly.
Yesterday, Wednesday, a new degree in Marketing at level 7 and 8 was launched in a live webinar with guest speakers Gavin Hanley, who is sales manager with Google in Sweden, and graduate Emma Gilroy Hamilton, who is senior director and head of global customer operations at AdRoll.
These new programmes will ensure students are best prepared for the changing business landscape and to ensure they have the necessary skills to stand out from the crowd. For more information on these events visit itsligo.ie/events
