IT Carlow - Sunday Times IT of the Year
Alastair McCall, Editor of The Sunday Times Good University Guide, said: "IT Carlow represents all that's good about the buoyant IT sector and made a compelling case to be our IT of the Year. Investments in outstanding facilities such as the new Dargan Centre funded from the institution's own income streams and a mission that puts students and student support at the heart of everything make IT Carlow stand out from the crowd. This enterprising institution is already playing a key role in the economy of the Southeast, a position that can only be reinforced as it seeks Technological University status in partnership with Waterford IT. Carlow is an outstanding resource for students and business alike.
