Enjoy the beauty of University of Limerick's charming campus.

Experience Ireland's lyrical landscape and vibrant city life firsthand! Find out for yourself how the emerald isle's population 'saved civilization' from barbarians thanks to diligent scribes, and how the country, crippled by a great potato famine, was able to rise to great prominence in the EU community. Immerse yourself in rich Irish history and exciting city life, while studying at one of the country’s most prominent institutions.

The University of Limerick (UL) distinguishes itself as one of Europe's newest universities, founded in 1972, and was the first new university established since the foundation of the Irish State. Its large and wooded campus sits about three miles from the ancient city of Limerick on the banks of the sparkling river Shannon. This modern institution is influenced by American higher education, yet it distinguishes itself through an emphasis on traditional Irish culture. The University has been accepting students from abroad for many years, and now AU students can experience this uniquely Irish academic community first-hand.
