Congratulating the graduates and their families, President of LIT Professor Vincent Cunnane said a Technological University, can bring the values of LIT to even more people, so that the benefit of what LIT does can be felt as widely as possible in the society of the future.

Prof Cunnanes said, “This will bring particular opportunities for Thurles, bringing the potential for it to emerge as a university campus of excellence for Higher Education in areas that directly impact on our lives, whether that be through sport, technology, the environment, or social care and education. This will not happen without work on all of our parts, but the opportunity is emerging and there will be benefit in that for our staff, our students and for Tipperary.”

More than 94% of last year’s graduates across disciplines as diverse as STEM, social sciences, fashion, art, law, business, hospitality and the culinary arts took up employment or further education almost immediately.
