Program Information:
The University is located on a riverside campus at the heart of the 600-acre National Technological Park at Plassey, three miles from the ancient city of Limerick. Founded in 1972, Limerick has quickly gained a reputation among Irish universities for its innovatively designed courses as well as for its excellent academic standards. Enjoy all of this and more:
- Fine arts and music - The University is home to some collections of fine Irish Art, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, and the Irish World Music Center.
- Strong rugby culture - Ireland loves its rugby, so there are classes, events, and other opportunities available to get involved and fall in love with this rugged sport.
- Volunteer opportunities - Volunteer around the local community and be up for the chance to win the President's Volunteer Award.
Academics:
The University operates on a semesterized, modular system. You will register for five modules (courses) per semester, with each module being 3 credits (a total of 15 credits). The academic calendar is also similar to the U.S. system with an autumn and spring semester during which you can choose and combine modules from all six colleges: business, education, humanities, engineering, informatics and electronics, and science.
