Tipperary Institute has been incorporating into LIT since December 2009 and following a Government decision in June 2010 will integrate formally with LIT on 1st September.

This year, the Institute will make more places available than ever before to cater for the growing demand for third level education locally. The fantastic growth in applications includes the BSc. (Hons) in Games Design and Development which has had a bumper year with first preferences up by 77%; while acknowledgement of the important role played by community based organisations has seen a 21% increase in applications for Tipperary Institute’s Social and Community Studies Degree.
