Ireland is an island with five million people located in the northwest of the European mainland. It has a temperate maritime climate with pleasant summer temperatures.

Shannon International Airport, only 16 miles from Limerick, provides daily access to a wide range of international destinations.
The University Of Limerick
The pursuit of excellence in teaching, and research to the highest level, has been the prime mission of the University. It has sought, like other new European universities, to be relevant to the times and to the nation's needs, and educate its students to the highest levels in the application as well as the acquisition of knowledge. The campus is situated at the heart of the National Technological Park on 65f0 acres of parkland on the banks of the River Shannon near Limerick City.
