We welcome visiting students who wish to spend a semester, year or summer abroad and gain academic credits for their time spent at The University of Limerick.
An essential part of studying abroad is for you to experience the local culture and traditions of your host country, all while gaining an entirely new perspective on academic subjects alongside other international and Irish students.
Our academic team will support you and help you get the most out of your experience academically, socially & culturally. For more information about our Study Abroad programmes contact us at study.abroad@ul.ie

"When you finally make the life-changing decision to study abroad, it comes down to significant questions like , “Which country should I go to? Which university should I choose?” Well, for me I was always biased towards coming to Ireland. However, choosing from multiple universities was the real struggle for me. I ended up in UL, and certainly, after a month, I could guarantee you that you will never regret coming to UL, no matter what course (the term for ‘major’ here is ‘course’) you are pursuing."
