   DkIT is a very modern and well-equipped campus, with bright classrooms, fresh buildings and impressive laboratories. The facilities feel clean, up-to-date and genuinely practical — you get the sense that students spend more time doing than just listening. Equipment looks modern, the technical spaces are well maintained, and overall the campus has a professional, contemporary feel. Academically, DkIT leans toward hands-on, industry-focused courses rather than theoretical paths. The strengths here are in engineering, construction, agriculture/food-related sciences, pharma and skills that link directly to employment. It’s very much a “learn the profession, get the job” environment — ideal for applied learners, but not suited for someone looking for pure physics or research-heavy theoretical science. A lecturer with a physics background shared interesting insight into the current nuclear landscape in Ireland, which was an unexpected and engaging conversation. Students were also friendly — especially in the acting department, who even invited us to their upcoming performance, which says a lot about the atmosphere here. DkIT is due to gain full University status in 2026 and has begun collaborating with Queen’s University Belfast, which could make the academic offering even stronger in future years. It will be interesting to see how this partnership develops, and whether new programmes expand beyond the existing applied focus. Overall, this is a modern, practical, career-oriented institute with excellent facilities and a very approachable feel. A great choice for someone who wants a direct pathway into work.

   Parking is an absolute joke. People don’t drive to college just to walk or take a bus to campus. They take away 4 parking spaces for EV charging points for lecturers because what average student can afford an EV? When people park in unobstuctive manners they get clamped and on top of that the college involves guards? Are you serious? A joke. The clampers are absolute vultures

   Worst college I’ve ever been to if your thinking of going here for any apprentaship phase I would defer, lecturers don’t care about you, can’t ask them a question without being made a fool of also communication between lecturers is shockingly poor not to mention it had the lowest pass rate in the country I seen why. AVOID

   It was one of the worst experiences of my life. If you want to learn and become a suited professional look else where. This place is a joke. With some lecturers just not bothering to show up to class, to some not being qualified to teach or, even worse, don't know how to grade... it's an easy diploma I guess but a terrible experience. I would never forget one of the lecturers straight up telling me he doesn't know what else I can do to get above 70% because he doesn't know how to grade me.

   I would give a rise compliment to Mairead Mc Kenna, Susan Murphy and Cathriona Connor. They are the best in DKIT I was lucky to meet them. I wished other staff be cared in teaching good not only for their salary and have good heart like them. The stars just for them. I dont want to give full stars for the college because they let me suffer without obtaining good learning.

   Still waiting on results ? I wouldn’t recommend dkit. The lecturers don’t care about anything other than their wages. Even if you reach out to some of them on email, you probably won’t get a response for weeks at a time. One of our lecturers have been amazing and I would love if they all followed the same process as her however that is not the case. When spending enormous amounts of money on an ‘education’ I’d expect appropriate conduct, teaching and resources yet this is not the case. On top of that if you miss a class even though they are all recorded, it seems some lecturers will hold a grudge, which is sad in fact. We all have busy lives just trying to get by so if the class of recorded why should being present at the time matter? Why don’t you find lecturers who actually have a passion for teaching? Instead you take ones on who already have multiple jobs resulting in them neglecting their students, teaching process and results. Also I don’t think one lecturer should have final control over results either it should be peer reviewed by someone else in the department especially when some subjects are quite subjective too.
