Whilst most applicants are from Donegal there has also been an increase in the geographical spread of entries from other counties. LYIT continues to attract mature students and those who wish to retrain. "Whilst these figures reflect the overall trend to pursue education, we are also pleased to see a rise in applications for our recently introduced Honours Degree courses. We will continue to offer courses which can lead to employment in emerging industries such as the recently introduced Wind Energy Technician course. Our focus will remain on offering high standard of courses linked to industry demands,” commented Paul Hannigan, President, LYIT.
