Great university to study and experience

I️ luckily had a positive experience at UL. UL offers a very personal connection to international students. There is plenty of great resources and opportunities available for me to improve Marketing skills and experience Irish cultures, such as sport & society clubs, and volunteer activities that I love so much. Additionally, UL tuition fees and living costs are so reasonable. My small size class allowed great connection with professors. Glucksman library is also a great place to study with modern facilities and private study spaces. On top of that, UL campus is so beautiful near Shannon river, with fresh air and a peaceful atmosphere. Limerick is a relatively quiet place, which was also the reason why I chose Limerick over Dublin. For me, I do enjoy every moment in UL.  show less

The university is incredibly huge with poetic landscapes and scenery that would definitely enhance your study experience here. Furthermore, there are a huge number of international students enrolled here every year so you would not feel isolated or lost. Last but not least, the teaching methods and ways lecturers at faculties approach students is super friendly, constructive and effective. Studying at the Master's level is not that hard at all. show less
