University of Limerick

Limerick University is a public research university located in Limerick, Ireland. The National Institute for Higher Education, Limerick, was founded in 1972 and became a university in 1989, thanks to the University of Limerick Act 1989. It was the first university created in Ireland after the country gained independence in 1922, with Dublin City University following suit later that year.

The University of Limerick's campus is located at Plassey, County Limerick, on a 137.5-hectare plot with 46 hectares on the north bank and 91.5 hectares on the south bank, 5 kilometers from the city center. It includes about 11,000 full-time undergraduate students and 1,500 part-time students, including over 2,400 international students. At the university, there are around 800 research postgraduates and 1,300 postgraduate students enrolled. Its co-operative education program, which was Ireland's first, provides students with an eight-month work experience as part of their degree.

The university is divided into four faculties:

• Kemmy Business School (Scoil Ghnó Kemmy)
• Faculty of Education and Health Sciences (including the Graduate Medical School)
• Faculty of Science and Engineering
• Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences
