Testimonial
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at LYIT. The level of support from staff and colleagues was exceptional throughout my four years there. I found the balance of software and hardware modules mixed with practical assignments helped develop a range of core skillsets that broadened my career options after graduating. The additional year of the Embedded Systems Design, was particularly beneficial. I discovered it is currently a skillset in demand within the industry. I use certain learnings from this course on a daily basis in my current position in Analog Devices in Limerick. Also I believe I will continue to do so further into my career
