Course Content
The project will consist of the study, analysis and resolution of a work-based problem. The problem resolution should have the employer’s support and fall within the existing expertise of the student. It is intended that the project provides the student with the opportunity to apply many of the skills acquired over the duration of the programme. The project also provides the student with work-based learning that demands a rational coherent approach to problem resolution.

In 1963 a series of technical colleges, to be known as Regional Technical Colleges (RTCs) was announced by the then Minister for Education, Patrick Hillery and the first of the RTCs theyre opened in Athlone, Carlow, Dundalk, Sligo and Waterford in 1970.
A regional technical college for Limerick follotheyd in 1974, initially under the name Limerick College of Art, Commerce and Technology (CoACT). CoACT was upgraded to Institute of Technology status in 1997, along with the restof the RTCs. In 1999 LIT was awarded delegated authority by the Higher Education and Training Awards Council, which allows the institute to award its own bachelors, masters and doctorates degrees.
