But don't just take our word...
“I graduated from WIT in 2003 with a BSc (Hons) in Architectural Technology. After graduating, I got a job in the Architects Dept in Waterford City Council where I worked for six months. I worked on a number of Amenity, Urban Renewal and Social Housing schemes. I then moved to Duffy Henry Architects Ltd in Jan 2004. I am currently working on a number of new apartments, retail schemes and some building conservation projects.
My time at WIT was really enjoyable. The course was very project-based which really prepared me for the real working environment. The staff were very helpful and supportive, many of them have been practising architects for a number of years, and they passed on their valuable wisdom to the students.”
