5 Taithí na Mac Léinn ag OT Baile Átha Cliath The Student Experience at TU Dublin

Leagann taithí mhic léinn OT Baile Átha Cliath béim ar chleachtas agus ar chur i bhfeidhm eolas teoiriciúil maidir le dúshláin an domhain. Baineann mic léinn úsáid as teicnící foghlama bunaithe ar fhadhbanna, oibríonn siad i bhfoirne chun tionscadail a chríochnú, baineann siad leas as deiseanna chun staidéar a dhéanamh thar lear, agus tugann siad faoi shocrúcháin oibre. Le linn a gcuid staidéir, bíonn siad ag plé le cleachtóirí i réimsí na tionsclaíochta agus na n-ealaíon, le pobail agus le heagraíochtaí neamhbhrabúis, agus le mic léinn ó dhisciplíní eile trí shaol gníomhach campais.

The TU Dublin student experience emphasises practice and the application of theoretical knowledge to real-world challenges. Students use problem- based learning techniques, work in teams to complete projects, avail of opportunities to study abroad, and undertake work placements. Throughout their studies, they engage with practitioners in industry and the arts, with communities and not-for- proﬁt organisations, and with students from other disciplines through an active campus life.
