What our students say...

Thomas ITBDublin

"Growing up throughout my childhood I would always question the whys and hows of electrical equipment and I was fascinated with electronics. By studying Computer Engineering at ITB I knew my questions would be answered. ITB also has tremendous facilities for all its students. I am currently involved in ITB’s Engineering Society and taking part in different clubs and societies which gives students’ some time away from the books when it is needed."
