Welcome from the Director and Dean

The new College of Sciences and Health at the Dublin Institute of Technology was established in 2010 and is located at DIT’s Kevin Street and Cathal Brugha Street sites. The new college builds on 120 years of experience in science and technology education and now offers practical, professional and career-oriented education, training and research in mathematics, computing, sciences and health. The Mission of the College is to support economic and societal development by providing highly skilled graduates, trained researchers and an up-skilled workforce capable of anticipating and meeting demand in competitive global sectors including Food, Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences, ICT, Green Technology, Financial Services, Education and the Allied Health Professions.

The programmes that are currently offered by the College, as detailed in this website, demonstrate the breath of opportunity available to prospective students in our College. Our strengths come from our excellent teaching staff, our successful research profile and our close ties with industry, the professions and the health sector. Almost all of our programmes are linked with industry and relevant professions through placement opportunities and other engagement activities, and our research is guided and informed by the needs of relevant sectors . I welcome you to the website of the College of Sciences and Health, and invite you to visit us in the future, at one of our many open days.
