University of Limerick

( Limerick, Ireland)

The University of Limerick is a public university located on the western coast of Ireland. The school was founded in 1972 and granted full university status in 1989. Limerick is widely known as Ireland's "American" university, given its integration of many American educational standards, such as cooperative education and use of grade point averages. The University of Limerick is the home to the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance, the Irish Chamber Orchestra, and the Daghdha Dance Company. A large portion of student housing is on-campus, which is in direct contrast to many other Irish universities. Limerick is in a period of rapid expansion, with the Jim Kemmy Business School, the Languages Building, and the School of Medicine having been completed within the last few years.

      I'm interested in earning a masters degree in journalism overseas, particularrly in Ireland. I was wondering if this college offered a MA in journalism; and how much it costs for an international student (US) to attend U of L.

          Hi Carlos, unfortunately not! We don't have any Fine Arts programmes I'm afraid. If you want to take a look at the full range of programmes we do have on offer at Masters level take a look on our website at www.ul.ie/international.

        Hi! I'm from the U.S. and I was wondering if the B.A. in History, Politics, Sociology, and Social Studies is the same price annually for an international student who is interested in attending the university for 4 years as it is for someone native to Ireland/Europe? Thanks!

          Hi Haley, thanks for your interest in UL! Due to government funding there is a difference between tuition fee rates for international students and Irish students, similar to the differences between in-state and out of state applicants in the USA. At present, the tuition for the BA HPSS is €11,495 per year. For more information have a look on our website www.ul.ie/international.

          Hi Carolanne, unfortunately we don't have any pre-vet or pre-med programmes here in UL. We also don't offer a Bachelor's Degree in Veterinary Studies. We do offer a BSc in Equine Science programme which also happens to be one of our scholarship programmes! For further information take a look on our website, www.ul.ie/international

        Hello! I'm from California, USA. I'm currently a junior at Prospect High School. I tried looking for your specific admission requirements but couldn't find it on the main website. Just as a tentative question. I bombed my first semester of my sophomore year with a GPA of 2.8 but managed to pull myself out of the mud in the second semester with a 3.5. So far in my first junior semester, I am taking two AP classes and I have straight A's. If I can pull of all A's for the rest of my durance in high school, will you consider me? I think a lot of colleges don't want me because they see that one 2.8 in my sophomore year but I really can't let University of Limerick out of my hands because it's one of my top choices and dream universities. Thanks!

          Hi Katherine, nice to meet you! We look at your cumulative GPA for entry to our programmes, so if you have one year where you fall a little short that does not mean you will not be accepted. A CGPA of 3.00 or above is required for entry and yes, I would certainly take your AP classes into account. I'm delighted to hear that UL is high up on your list. When you are ready to apply please let me know and I will send you our full application pack. Good luck with your studies! Aoife
