Located in the centre of [[Dublin]], Ireland's capital city, '''Dublin Institute of Technology''' (commonly referred to as '''DIT''') ({{lang-ga|Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Atha Cliath}}) is one of the largest higher education institutions in [[Ireland]]. Though established in its present form in 1992, the institution can trace an unbroken history back to the establishment in 1887 of the first technical education institution in Ireland. It continues to build on its long tradition of providing education from certificate to doctorate level. It is known particularly for programmes in [[Architecture]], [[Engineering]], [[Science]], [[Marketing]], [[Hospitality]], [[Music]], [[Optometry]], [[Pharmaceuticals]], [[Construction]], [[Digital Media]] and [[Journalism]]. [[Alumni of the Dublin Institute of Technology]] include many of Ireland's leading writers, artists and politicians.<ref>{{cite book|last=Robinson|first=Jimmie|title=From Certificates to Doctorates,by Degrees; Dublin Institute of Technology - a Photographic Memoir.|year=2007|isbn=978-1-84218-143-0}}</ref>

==About==
[[File:DIT Faculty of Science.JPG|250px|thumb|DIT's Kevin St building; currently home to most science and health programmes, the School of Electrical and Electronic engineering and the [[DIT School of Computing]].]]

===Academics===
Academically DIT comprises four colleges; Engineering and Built Environment, Business, Science and Health and Arts and Tourism and a Graduate Research School. There are twenty-seven academic schools, four major research institutes, many research centres and groups and various technology transfer and commercial units.

The Institute currently has around 22,000 undergraduate and both taught and research postgraduate students.

The institution awards [[Bachelor degree|Bachelor's]], [[Master degree|Master's]] and [[Doctorate degree|Doctoral]] degrees. Dublin Institute of Technology has autonomous authority to make its own academic awards. As its awards comply fully with the national qualifications framework of the [[National Qualifications Authority of Ireland]], they are fully recognised internationally.

DIT also validates programmes provided by other institutions such as the [[Digital Skills Academy]] in Dublin as part of the pathways to work initiative and the [[Brighton Institute of Modern Music]] BA course. Students on these programmes are registered students of DIT.

[[File:Mountjoy Square, Dublin, Ireland (January 2010).jpg|thumb|DIT's Mountjoy Square building; currently home to art and design programmes, shown during snowfall in 2010]]

===Research===
Dedicated research facilities include the Focas Research Institute with extensive [[spectroscopy]], [[microscopy]] and [[holography]] facilities. It also houses "CREST"; an international centre supported by [[Enterprise Ireland]] for [[paint]] and surface coating development. Antennae research is associated with the multi-institution "CTVR"; The Centre for Telecommunications Value-added Research.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ctvr.ie/|title=CTVR website}}</ref> Recently research supported by [[Science Foundation Ireland]] in the Dublin Energy Lab, water sciences, [[air quality]], [[food preservation]] and environmental health and safety are being co-located in a major new building at the [[Grangegorman]] new city centre campus together with an additional "Hothouse" start-up business incubator for new DIT spin-off companies. Hothouse has nurtured, amongst other firms, [[Smart Wall Paint]] and [[Moletest]].

===Community Outreach===
Embedded in Dublin city centre, DIT has built very strong and diverse links with its neighbouring communities and schools. The Access and Civic Engagement service provides extensive programmes that enable those from traditionally under-represented groups to study at DIT. These include many highly successful access routes for children in secondary schools where there has been no tradition of continuing to third level education. It has also made even earlier interventions in schools, for example the 'Pathways through Education' supports students in making the transition into secondary school.

===International Partnerships===
DIT has student exchange programmes with universities in India, China, Brazil, Australia, the USA and across Europe. DIT are lead partners in the Mozambique Eyecare Project. As part of the project, an undergraduate course in [[Optometry]] has been established at Universidade Lurio, [[Nampula]]. The first of its kind in [[Mozambique]]. Other partners on the project are [[University of Ulster]] and International Centre for Eyecare Education.
There are strong links with [[Columbia College Chicago]] in design and media and with [[Purdue University]] across many disciplines including a joint Masters degree programme. There are strong student and staff exchanges with [[Grenoble School of Management]]. DIT accredits programmes at [[Middle East College]] in Oman.

===Sport===
DIT has over 40 different clubs for student to chose from <ref>http://www.ditsports.ie/site/view/28/</ref> They include [[Gaelic Athletic Association]], [[Football]], [[Handball]], [[rifle shooting]], [[waterpolo]], [[archery]], [[basketball]], [[kite surfing]] and [http://www.ditsports.ie/download/streamfile/979/ many more].

In 2013 Dublin Institute of Technology won the [[Sigerson Cup]], the premier Gaelic Football Championship among Irish Higher Education institutions. DIT's hurlers won the [[Kehoe Cup]] in 2007 and the [[Walsh Cup (hurling)|Walsh Cup]] Shield in 2013.

Outdoor and indoor sports facilities are being developed at [[Grangegorman]] and at [[Broom Bridge]]. The latter is adjacent to [[Broombridge railway station]] and the canal bridge where [[Sir William Rowan Hamilton]] first wrote the fundamental formula for [[quaternions]].

===Ranking===
Dublin Institute of Technology was named "Best Institute of Technology 2010" by the Sunday Times. It came 94th in the 2014 Times Higher Education's 100 under 50 Ranking.<ref>{{cite news|title=DIT makes 'top100' for up-and-coming third-level institution|date=April 30, 2014|newspaper=Irish Times}}</ref> It came 157th in the UI

===New city centre campus===
The present internal structure of colleges and a graduate school has been in place since 2012. Dublin Institute of Technology is consolidating to a single campus in the centre of [[Dublin]], the ''[[Grangegorman]] Campus'' <ref>{{cite news|title=Finishing touches as DIT campus opens in the heart of city|date=September 4, 2014|newspaper=Irish Times}}</ref> with the campus currently being home to students in Fine Art, Product Design, Visual Communications, Photography and Social Sciences. The development of the new consolidated city-centre campus is undertaken by the [[Grangegorman Development Agency]].

==History==

===Foundation===
It was established officially by legislation as a single institution in 1992 under the Dublin Institute of Technology Act.<ref>http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1992/en/act/pub/0015/index.html</ref> This formalised arrangements in place since 1978 on an ad-hoc basis.
Dublin Institute of Technology traces its origin to the foundation under the leadership of [[Arnold Felix Graves]] in 1887 of the first of its predecessor colleges.<ref>{{cite book|last=Duff|first=Tom, et al|title=The Story of Dublin Institute of Technology|year=2000|publisher=Blackhall
Press|isbn=1-842180-13-4}}</ref> These were, with their original year of foundation:
* College of Technology, Bolton Street (1911)
* College of Catering, [[Cathal Brugha Street]] (1941)
* College of Music, Chatham Row (1890)
* [[College of Technology, Kevin Street]] (1887)
* College of Marketing and Design, [[Mountjoy Square, Dublin|Mountjoy Square]] (1905)
* College of Commerce, Rathmines (1901)

===Development===
In 1992 Dublin Institute of Technology was separated formally from the ''[[City of Dublin]] [[Vocational Education Committee]]'' with Michael O'Donnell becoming the first interim President. He was succeeded as President in 1993 by Brendan Goldsmith. The predecessor colleges were recognised as centres of excellence in their areas of specialism and, following the establishment of Dublin Institute of Technology, their expertise formed the nucleus of a Faculty structure comprising, with their locations:
* Faculty of Applied Arts, [[Mountjoy Square]], Rathmines, Clarendon Row, Portland Row, Temple Bar
* Faculty of the Built Environment, Bolton Street and Linenhall
* Faculty of Business, [[Mountjoy Square]] and Rathmines, latterly Aungier Street
* Faculty of Engineering, Bolton Street, Kevin Street, Beresford Street
* [[DIT Faculty of Science|Faculty of Science, Kevin Street]]
* [[DIT Faculty of Tourism and Food|Faculty of Tourism and Food, Cathal Brugha Street]], Sackville Place and Kevin Street

In 1975 the [[University of Dublin]] entered into an agreement whereby it conferred [[academic degree]]s at the colleges that formed Dublin Institute of Technology; this allowed these graduates a vote in the [[University of Dublin (constituency)|University of Dublin constituency]] for [[Seanad Éireann]] representatives. This continued until 1998, when Dublin Institute of Technology was granted its own autonomous degree-awarding powers.

An application for university designation in 1996 was declined but with the expert panel viewing the institution as on a trajectory for university designation. Dublin Institute of Technology now has a scope of activities and variety of powers identical to those of a university, and its degrees are recognised as such both in Ireland and internationally. The institution recently confirmed<ref>{{cite news|title=ITs or Tech Unis|newspaper=Irish Times|date=16 February 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=The transforming landscape of higher education in Ireland|newspaper=Public Affairs Ireland|date=March/April 2014.}}</ref> that it is applying for formal university designation <ref>{{citation|url=http://www.independent.ie/education/latest-news/dit-seeks-an-upgrading-to-university-74262.html |title=DIT seeks an upgrading to university – Latest News, Education |publisher=Independent.ie |date=20 October 2006 |accessdate=13 September 2010}}</ref> DIT has awarded [[Professorships]] since 2003.

In 1992 Dublin Institute of Technology was separated formally from the ''[[City of Dublin]] [[Vocational Education Committee]]'' with Michael O'Donnell becoming the first interim President. He was succeeded as President in 1993 by Brendan Goldsmith. The predecessor colleges were recognised as centres of excellence in their areas of specialism and, following the establishment of Dublin Institute of Technology, their expertise formed the nucleus of a Faculty structure comprising, with their locations:
* Faculty of Applied Arts, [[Mountjoy Square]], Rathmines, Clarendon Row, Portland Row, Temple Bar
* Faculty of the Built Environment, Bolton Street and Linenhall
* Faculty of Business, [[Mountjoy Square]] and Rathmines, latterly Aungier Street
* Faculty of Engineering, Bolton Street, Kevin Street, Beresford Street
* [[DIT Faculty of Science|Faculty of Science, Kevin Street]]
* [[DIT Faculty of Tourism and Food|Faculty of Tourism and Food, Cathal Brugha Street]], Sackville Place and Kevin Street

In 1975 the [[University of Dublin]] entered into an agreement whereby it conferred [[academic degree]]s at the colleges that formed Dublin Institute of Technology; this allowed these graduates a vote in the [[University of Dublin (constituency)|University of Dublin constituency]] for [[Seanad Éireann]] representatives. This continued until 1998, when Dublin Institute of Technology was granted its own autonomous degree-awarding powers.

An application for university designation in 1996 was declined but with the expert panel viewing the institution as on a trajectory for university designation.

Located in the centre of [[Dublin]], Ireland's capital city, '''Dublin Institute of Technology''' (commonly referred to as '''DIT''') ({{lang-ga|Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Atha Cliath}}) is one of the largest higher education institutions in [[Ireland]]. Though established in its present form in 1992, the institution can trace an unbroken history back to the establishment in 1887 of the first technical education institution in Ireland. It continues to build on its long tradition of providing education from certificate to doctorate level. It is known particularly for programmes in [[Architecture]], [[Engineering]], [[Science]], [[Marketing]], [[Hospitality]], [[Music]], [[Optometry]], [[Pharmaceuticals]], [[Construction]], [[Digital Media]] and [[Journalism]]. [[Alumni of the Dublin Institute of Technology]] include many of Ireland's leading writers, artists and politicians.<ref>{{cite book|last=Robinson|first=Jimmie|title=From Certificates to Doctorates,by Degrees; Dublin Institute of Technology - a Photographic Memoir.|year=2007|isbn=978-1-84218-143-0}}</ref>

==About==
[[File:DIT Faculty of Science.JPG|250px|thumb|DIT's Kevin St building; currently home to most science and health programmes, the School of Electrical and Electronic engineering and the [[DIT School of Computing]].]]

===Academics===
Academically DIT comprises four colleges; Engineering and Built Environment, Business, Science and Health and Arts and Tourism and a Graduate Research School. There are twenty-seven academic schools, four major research institutes, many research centres and groups and various technology transfer and commercial units.

The Institute currently has around 22,000 undergraduate and both taught and research postgraduate students.

The institution awards [[Bachelor degree|Bachelor's]], [[Master degree|Master's]] and [[Doctorate degree|Doctoral]] degrees. Dublin Institute of Technology has autonomous authority to make its own academic awards. As its awards comply fully with the national qualifications framework of the [[National Qualifications Authority of Ireland]], they are fully recognised internationally.

DIT also validates programmes provided by other institutions such as the [[Digital Skills Academy]] in Dublin as part of the pathways to work initiative and the [[Brighton Institute of Modern Music]] BA course. Students on these programmes are registered students of DIT.

[[File:Mountjoy Square, Dublin, Ireland (January 2010).jpg|thumb|DIT's Mountjoy Square building; currently home to art and design programmes, shown during snowfall in 2010]]

===Research===
Dedicated research facilities include the Focas Research Institute with extensive [[spectroscopy]], [[microscopy]] and [[holography]] facilities. It also houses "CREST"; an international centre supported by [[Enterprise Ireland]] for [[paint]] and surface coating development. Antennae research is associated with the multi-institution "CTVR"; The Centre for Telecommunications Value-added Research.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ctvr.ie/|title=CTVR website}}</ref> Recently research supported by [[Science Foundation Ireland]] in the Dublin Energy Lab, water sciences, [[air quality]], [[food preservation]] and environmental health and safety are being co-located in a major new building at the [[Grangegorman]] new city centre campus together with an additional "Hothouse" start-up business incubator for new DIT spin-off companies. Hothouse has nurtured, amongst other firms, [[Smart Wall Paint]] and [[Moletest]].

===Community Outreach===
Embedded in Dublin city centre, DIT has built very strong and diverse links with its neighbouring communities and schools. The Access and Civic Engagement service provides extensive programmes that enable those from traditionally under-represented groups to study at DIT. These include many highly successful access routes for children in secondary schools where there has been no tradition of continuing to third level education. It has also made even earlier interventions in schools, for example the 'Pathways through Education' supports students in making the transition into secondary school.

===International Partnerships===
DIT has student exchange programmes with universities in India, China, Brazil, Australia, the USA and across Europe. DIT are lead partners in the Mozambique Eyecare Project. As part of the project, an undergraduate course in [[Optometry]] has been established at Universidade Lurio, [[Nampula]]. The first of its kind in [[Mozambique]]. Other partners on the project are [[University of Ulster]] and International Centre for Eyecare Education.
There are strong links with [[Columbia College Chicago]] in design and media and with [[Purdue University]] across many disciplines including a joint Masters degree programme. There are strong student and staff exchanges with [[Grenoble School of Management]]. DIT accredits programmes at [[Middle East College]] in Oman.

===Sport===
DIT has over 40 different clubs for student to chose from <ref>http://www.ditsports.ie/site/view/28/</ref> They include [[Gaelic Athletic Association]], [[Football]], [[Handball]], [[rifle shooting]], [[waterpolo]], [[archery]], [[basketball]], [[kite surfing]] and [http://www.ditsports.ie/download/streamfile/979/ many more].

In 2013 Dublin Institute of Technology won the [[Sigerson Cup]], the premier Gaelic Football Championship among Irish Higher Education institutions. DIT's hurlers won the [[Kehoe Cup]] in 2007 and the [[Walsh Cup (hurling)|Walsh Cup]] Shield in 2013.

Outdoor and indoor sports facilities are being developed at [[Grangegorman]] and at [[Broom Bridge]]. The latter is adjacent to [[Broombridge railway station]] and the canal bridge where [[Sir William Rowan Hamilton]] first wrote the fundamental formula for [[quaternions]].

===Ranking===
Dublin Institute of Technology was named "Best Institute of Technology 2010" by the Sunday Times. It came 94th in the 2014 Times Higher Education's 100 under 50 Ranking.<ref>{{cite news|title=DIT makes 'top100' for up-and-coming third-level institution|accessdate=April 30, 2014|newspaper=Irish Times}}</ref> It came 157th in the UI

Located in the centre of [[Dublin]], Ireland's capital city, '''Dublin Institute of Technology''' (commonly referred to as '''DIT''') ({{lang-ga|Institiúid Teicneolaíochta Bhaile Atha Cliath}}) is one of the largest higher education institutions in [[Ireland]]. Though established in its present form in 1992, the institution can trace an unbroken history back to the establishment in 1887 of the first technical education institution in Ireland. It continues to build on its long tradition of providing education from certificate to doctorate level. It is known particularly for programmes in [[Architecture]], [[Engineering]], [[Science]], [[Marketing]], [[Hospitality]], [[Music]], [[Optometry]], [[Pharmaceuticals]], [[Construction]], [[Digital Media]] and [[Journalism]]. [[Alumni of the Dublin Institute of Technology]] include many of Ireland's leading writers, artists and politicians.<ref>{{cite book|last=Robinson|first=Jimmie|title=From Certificates to Doctorates,by Degrees; Dublin Institute of Technology - a Photographic Memoir.|year=2007|isbn=978-1-84218-143-0}}</ref>

==About==
[[File:DIT Faculty of Science.JPG|250px|thumb|DIT's Kevin St building; currently home to most science and health programmes, the School of Electrical and Electronic engineering and the [[DIT School of Computing]].]]

===Academics===
Academically DIT comprises four colleges; Engineering and Built Environment, Business, Science and Health and Arts and Tourism and a Graduate Research School. There are twenty-seven academic schools, four major research institutes, many research centres and groups and various technology transfer and commercial units.

The Institute currently has around 22,000 undergraduate and both taught and research postgraduate students.

The institution awards [[Bachelor degree|Bachelor's]], [[Master degree|Master's]] and [[Doctorate degree|Doctoral]] degrees. Dublin Institute of Technology has autonomous authority to make its own academic awards. As its awards comply fully with the national qualifications framework of the [[National Qualifications Authority of Ireland]], they are fully recognised internationally.

DIT also validates programmes provided by other institutions such as the [[Digital Skills Academy]] in Dublin as part of the pathways to work initiative and the [[Brighton Institute of Modern Music]] BA course. Students on these programmes are registered students of DIT.

===Research===
Dedicated research facilities include the Focas Research Institute with extensive [[spectroscopy]], [[microscopy]] and [[holography]] facilities. It also houses "CREST"; an international centre supported by [[Enterprise Ireland]] for [[paint]] and surface coating development. Antennae research is associated with the multi-institution "CTVR"; The Centre for Telecommunications Value-added Research.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ctvr.ie/|title=CTVR website}}</ref> Recently research supported by [[Science Foundation Ireland]] in the Dublin Energy Lab, water sciences, [[air quality]], [[food preservation]] and environmental health and safety are being co-located in a major new building at the [[Grangegorman]] new city centre campus together with an additional "Hothouse" start-up business incubator for new DIT spin-off companies. Hothouse has nurtured, amongst other firms, [[Smart Wall Paint]] and [[Moletest]].

===Community Outreach===
Embedded in Dublin city centre, DIT has built very strong and diverse links with its neighbouring communities and schools. The Access and Civic Engagement service provides extensive programmes that enable those from traditionally under-represented groups to study at DIT. These include many highly successful access routes for children in secondary schools where there has been no tradition of continuing to third level education. It has also made even earlier interventions in schools, for example the 'Pathways through Education' supports students in making the transition into secondary school.

===International Partnerships===
DIT has student exchange programmes with universities in India, China, Brazil, Australia, the USA and across Europe. DIT are lead partners in the Mozambique Eyecare Project. As part of the project, an undergraduate course in [[Optometry]] has been established at Universidade Lurio, [[Nampula]]. The first of its kind in [[Mozambique]]. Other partners on the project are [[University of Ulster]] and International Centre for Eyecare Education.
There are strong links with [[Columbia College Chicago]] in design and media and with [[Purdue University]] across many disciplines including a joint Masters degree programme. There are strong student and staff exchanges with [[Grenoble School of Management]]. DIT accredits programmes at [[Middle East College]] in Oman.

===Sport===
DIT has over 40 different clubs for student to chose from <ref>http://www.ditsports.ie/site/view/28/</ref> They include [[Gaelic Athletic Association]], [[Football]], [[Handball]], [[rifle shooting]], [[waterpolo]], [[archery]], [[basketball]], [[kite surfing]] and [http://www.ditsports.ie/download/streamfile/979/ many more].

In 2013 Dublin Institute of Technology won the [[Sigerson Cup]], the premier Gaelic Football Championship among Irish Higher Education institutions. DIT's hurlers won the [[Kehoe Cup]] in 2007 and the [[Walsh Cup (hurling)|Walsh Cup]] Shield in 2013.

Outdoor and indoor sports facilities are being developed at [[Grangegorman]] and at [[Broom Bridge]]. The latter is adjacent to [[Broombridge railway station]] and the canal bridge where [[Sir William Rowan Hamilton]] first wrote the fundamental formula for [[quaternions]].

===Ranking===
Dublin Institute of Technology was named "Best Institute of Technology 2010" by the Sunday Times. It came 94th in the 2014 Times Higher Education's 100 under 50 Ranking.<ref>{{cite news|title=DIT makes 'top100' for up-and-coming third-level institution|accessdate=April 30, 2914|newspaper=Irish Times}}</ref> It came 157th in the UI

==History==

===Foundation===
It was established officially by legislation as a single institution in 1992 under the Dublin Institute of Technology Act.<ref>http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1992/en/act/pub/0015/index.html</ref> This formalised arrangements in place since 1978 on an ad-hoc basis.
Dublin Institute of Technology traces its origin to the foundation under the leadership of [[Arnold Felix Graves]] in 1887 of the first of its predecessor colleges.<ref>{{cite book|last=Duff|first=Tom, et al|title=The Story of Dublin Institute of Technology|year=2000|publisher=Blackhall
Press|isbn=1-842180-13-4}}</ref> These were, with their original year of foundation:
* College of Technology, Bolton Street (1911)
* College of Catering, [[Cathal Brugha Street]] (1941)
* College of Music, Chatham Row (1890)
* [[College of Technology, Kevin Street]] (1887)
* College of Marketing and Design, [[Mountjoy Square, Dublin|Mountjoy Square]] (1905)
* College of Commerce, Rathmines (1901)

===Development===
In 1992 Dublin Institute of Technology was separated formally from the ''[[City of Dublin]] [[Vocational Education Committee]]'' with Michael O'Donnell becoming the first interim President. He was succeeded as President in 1993 by Brendan Goldsmith. The predecessor colleges were recognised as centres of excellence in their areas of specialism and, following the establishment of Dublin Institute of Technology, their expertise formed the nucleus of a Faculty structure comprising, with their locations:
* Faculty of Applied Arts, [[Mountjoy Square]], Rathmines, Clarendon Row, Portland Row, Temple Bar
* Faculty of the Built Environment, Bolton Street and Linenhall
* Faculty of Business, [[Mountjoy Square]] and Rathmines, latterly Aungier Street
* Faculty of Engineering, Bolton Street, Kevin Street, Beresford Street
* [[DIT Faculty of Science|Faculty of Science, Kevin Street]]
* [[DIT Faculty of Tourism and Food|Faculty of Tourism and Food, Cathal Brugha Street]], Sackville Place and Kevin Street

In 1975 the [[University of Dublin]] entered into an agreement whereby it conferred [[academic degree]]s at the colleges that formed Dublin Institute of Technology; this allowed these graduates a vote in the [[University of Dublin (constituency)|University of Dublin constituency]] for [[Seanad Éireann]] representatives. This continued until 1998, when Dublin Institute of Technology was granted its own autonomous degree-awarding powers.

An application for university designation in 1996 was declined but with the expert panel viewing the institution as on a trajectory for university designation. Dublin Institute of Technology now has a scope of activities and variety of powers identical to those of a university, and its degrees are recognised as such both in Ireland and internationally. The institution recently confirmed<ref>{{cite news|title=ITs or Tech Unis|newspaper=Irish Times|date=16 February 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=The transforming landscape of higher education in Ireland|newspaper=Public Affairs Ireland|date=March/April 2014.}}</ref> that it is applying for formal university designation <ref>{{citation|url=http://www.independent.ie/education/latest-news/dit-seeks-an-upgrading-to-university-74262.html |title=DIT seeks an upgrading to university – Latest News, Education |publisher=Independent.ie |date=20 October 2006 |accessdate=13 September 2010}}</ref> DIT has awarded [[Professorships]] since 2003.
