The International Education Division warmly welcomed 465 new International students from 44 countries to the for the spring semester. The students will study in UL under the Erasmus/Exchange, International Credit Mobility and Study Abroad programmes.
Our 7-day Orientation programme commenced on 20th January 2020, with a host of activities throughout the week, including airport collection, coffee mornings, Traditional Irish music night, campus tours, 1-hour workshops on “Adjusting to life in Ireland” and “Study Skills” and many more events.
At UL, an Irish welcome is extended to students from abroad, with a Welcome Address, followed by an Irish music and dance performance from Celtic Steps who come from Co. Kerry to give new students a real taste of Irish culture.
We ended the week with a Market trip in Limerick city on Saturday morning, which gives the students a chance to explore the city centre.
