With three institutions of higher education and a combined student population of almost 20,000, Limerick is a bustling, vibrant and exciting city. There are cinemas, nightclubs and a range of bars and restaurants to enjoy with friends. Limerick will provide you with plenty of opportunities for a great social life.
In 2014 Limerick was designated Ireland’s first ‘National City of Culture’ and in 2016 was a short-listed Irish candidate city for European
Capital of Culture 2020. The city offers a variety of historical, artistic and theatrical activities. Indeed, the magnificent Lime Tree Theatre, in the College’s TARA building, hosts a range of performances from national and international theatre, dance, opera and ballet companies,
to live musical and comedy performances.
Limerick is also the sporting capital of the Munster region and is unique in having a strong tradition and success in both Gaelic games and rugby. Fans can tour the spectacular Thomond Park Stadium, which includes an interactive museum that showcases the proud history and heritage of Munster rugby.
