The objective of University of Limerick's style guide is to establish a clear and recognisable brand identity for the University, while also providing guidance on how to communicate effectively with various audiences through both written and digital channels.

UL Links, a University of Limerick publication which aims to showcase the very best of what is happening at the institution through its education, research and innovation.

In its 12th year of publication, this magazine has become a major platform for highlighting the stories of all UL faculties, departments, alumni, students, friends and beneficiaries to name a few – bringing to you all we do here at UL.

Since its inception in 2007, the magazine has profiled international academics, ground-breaking research, student innovations and initiatives while covering the visits of some of the world’s most influential leaders of politics, sports and entertainment to the University of Limerick campus, including the Dalai Lama and former President of the US Bill Clinton. UL Links will continue to share the stories from our community for many issues to come.

Photography & filming on campus guidance for event organisers

Written permission is required for photos or videos of children under the age of 18 and for patients in medical settings. 

In situations where UL is photographing visitors to the campus under the age of 18, it is essential that the UL organiser of the visit has confirmation in writing in advance from a representative of the school or club that parents or guardians have given permission for their children to be photographed.  

In cases where general photography is undertaken on the campus whenever possible, commissioned photographers should identify themselves and the event organiser should seek requisite permissions using the Media Release Form.

Where possible, disclaimers and information should be given in any event promotional material to ensure subjects are aware that photography and video is being undertaken on campus.

In instances when an individual asks to not be photographed, UL photographers comply with those wishes.
