IT Tallaght International Week 2013

The Institute of Technology Tallaght will hold an International Week, within the Institute, from the 11th to the 15th of March 2013. The week’s aims are to internationalise the Institutes Business Degree courses, while also promoting the opportunity for students to study abroad through the Erasmus scheme.

This year’s five day event has been organised by a group of budding Advertising and Marketing students of IT Tallaght. The Institute will see fifteen lecturers, from numerous international countries, such as The Netherlands, Poland and Spain, taking to the lecture halls to educate the students on both international cultures and their Specific area of expertise. Irish guest speakers Peter Nash from Tourism Ireland and Kevin Donnelly from Britvic, will also take to the podium.

Adrian Payne, Head of the Department of Marketing and Business Computing says,

 “I’ve been fortunate enough to attend similar events in other institutes in Europe and to see from a lecturer’s perspective what it’s like to teach abroad. Next week IT Tallaght will be welcoming 15 lecturers from partner institutes. By hosting our own International Week, it will give students an idea of what it would be like to study abroad and afford them the opportunity to learn more about other cultures.”

A range of cultural activities will also take place, such as international food tastings for the Irish students and sight-seeing tours of Dublin for the visiting lecturers.
