Do you need to be good at maths?

I'm a second year in biosciences and last year I had to do a lot of maths. I would say I'm not the best at maths and I struggle a little but the college has a

maths learning support centre that's really helpful. All you have to do to get help from them is bring your

notes from class it doesn't cost anything and they're really helpful. I'd also say the lecturers themselves are

also very helpful they understand maths can be difficult and will answer all your questions and we also have tutorials once a week where you can get practice

doing equations and get any extra help you might need.

What are the lecturers like in DIT?

The thing that struck me most when I started in DIT was how approachable the lecturing staff are. They

are more than happy to spend time inside and outside of class answering any queries students have.

Anything the can't answer they will either find out or point you in the right direction.

The small lecture halls in DIT means that it is easy to ask questions to the lecturers about different aspects

of the module material. This results in students developing good relationships with the lecturers due

to the small number of students in each lecture.

What's the most interesting thing you did in first year?

2nd year DT228 computer science. The most interesting thing I did in first year was the last

programming assignment we had. We had to design a lotto game that selected numbers and checked for a winner. It sounds simple but with error checking it became a lot more complex. I found this the most interesting because I learnt the most doing this

assignment.

What our Students Say

“I found my course really good. It had a very strong practical aspect. We did a lot of lab work and we were taught physics mainly through PBL in first year, which is Problem Based Learning

where you work in small groups and interacted a lot with the lecturers. We had to teach our peers and learn from them as well as write reports and it really taught you a lot of skills that would be

needed for this industry”

Rachel Harding - DT222 - Physics Technology

“I really like my course because there are a lot of technical skills

associated with it, theoretical knowledge and practical skills from labs. I would definitely recommend my course to

anyone interested in studying physics because you get a lot of the skills necessary for working in the physics industry outside

of education”

Sarah Gilligan – DT221 - Physics with Energy and Environment

“I would recommend the course if you were leaning more towards the practical side of computing because

it has everything in it from software development, programming, networking, operating systems,

everything like that. I found out about it through my school counsellor, he helped me pick it and we worked

from there to pick the best course for me.”

Jamie Doyle – DT211 - Computing
