Limerick’s appeal as a destination for higher education is showcased in the new Limerick Student City Prospectus presented by Limerick City and County Council.

Limerick is renowned for its Higher Education Institutions with internationally acclaimed academic excellence. However, the Prospectus goes beyond academic prowess, emphasising the city's dynamic attributes that contribute to a well-rounded college experience. 

Limerick has a student population in excess of 24,000 including international students from more than 100 countries.  

Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Gerald Mitchell commented: 

"We all know that there is more to your college experience than what happens in the lecture hall alone. The right location, city, and community all impact your college years. Limerick's future-focused position, accessibility, youth, vibrancy, and its safe and supportive outlook make it a particularly attractive prospect for potential students."

Head of Marketing and Communications at Limerick City and County Council, Donn O’Sullivan encourages prospective students to explore the Limerick Student City Prospectus:
