  • The campus always has activities—major celebrations include St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, and Christmas, along with festivals from other cultures such as Chinese New Year, Diwali, and Ramadan. Students can get involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities through various clubs, societies, and initiatives run by UL Global and Student Life.
  • From cultural events and food fairs to creative workshops like pottery and painting, there’s always something happening that caters to every interest.

Fees

  • 19300 euro was the full fee, of which 2500 euro was the scholarship. Had to pay in full while applying for a visa. For accommodation, choose the on-campus one, which costs 781 euros per month for the time period of my master's, which is a one-year program.
  • Apart from the rent, my monthly expense was around 120 euro per month. 15 euros for phone recharge; wifi was free on campus and in accommodation. around 90 euros for groceries. 10 euros for transportation via Leap card.

  • There are many buildings on the UL campus and the specifics can be found on the UL website: https://www.ul.ie/style-guide/word-use-and-spelling/ul-place-names.
  • For my courses I visited the buildings below.
    • Computer Science Building
    • Glucksman Library and information building
    • Foundation Building
    • Kemmy Business School
    • Engineering Research Building
  • Yes, UL has all sorts of facilities a student can imagine. Sports, Gym, Swimming pool, Grounds for sports like football and hurling, the postgraduate students union building, the Stables club for hangouts, Medical facilities, Coffee shops, Restaurants, Snacks counters like Spar.
  • For Indians, UL had organised a Diwali party and a Holi celebration. Majorly happens at Stables club.
  • All students are open to participate in many events across the campus for a number of sports, including football, archery, badminton, martial arts, swimming, rowing, boxing, etc.

Fees

  • My full fees were 14000 Euros, I did not stay in the UL hostel campus but from my friends I know it varies depending on the Hostel type and facility you choose and for 1 year it is from 7000 to 10000 Euros. Other expenses are food and travel, which are roughly 200 to 300 Euro per month. You also need student health insurance, which was around 400 Euros for a year
  • For us it was half-yearly; at the beginning we had to pay half of the fees i.e 7000 Euros and later after the first semester.
  • My rent was 350 Euros, Electricity + Wifi - 50 Euros, Food - 150 Euros, I had a bicycle so never used public transport, but for students, travel on public transport is cheaper since we get a student travel card (Leap card) so 0.65 Euros each time we travel so roughly 10 euros a month. In total 560 Euros each month could be the expenses. Also, Limerick is cheap as compared to Dublin.

  • Our campus had one location that was in Limerick it had all the amenities: a gym, a sports center, playground and all other facilities such as an on-campus Spar and Bank and also a stationery place. They had the best campus in Ireland; there was ample space for everything and they had a huge library too, which always attracted students to study. All in all, they had the best campus and we had everything to facilitate our education and well-being.

Fees

  • Full fees were 6250 euros after the scholarship and around 4500 euros for campus accommodation this is yearly.
  • Rent: 450-500 euros p.m
  • Transportation - I used to stay in college campus but it is usually 1 euro around for a 90 mins on bus using the leap card
  • Food and groceries -200 euros p.m
  • This varies on the accommodation and the amount of cooking you do at the house.

  • When it comes to campus life, I might not be the best person to comment, as I’m more of an introvert and i didn’t spend much time attending parties or participating in extracurricular activities. However, I can say that there are plenty of options available for those who are interested.

Fees

  • 19000 euro (2000 was waived through scholarship).

  • The University of Limerick has only one campus with a variety of colleges within it, covering different fields.
  • A number of facilities are available on campus, which include the UL library, sports arena, medical service centre, student union club, PSU, cafes and restaurants, etc.
  • UL celebrates each country's festival like its own, whether it's Diwali or the Lunar Year. 
  • A lot of extracurricular activities happen on campus, like the 10 km marathon for sports enthusiast, swimming competitions, and cultural events like Diwali, Lunar Year, Halloween Party, Ball Night, etc. conducted by the student organization also known as PSU.

Fees

  • The fee structure breakdown is as follows: 1500 euros were my scholarship fees, 8500 euros were my entire year's accommodation fees and tuition fees were 16000 euros.
  • The fees charged were as per your preference. I preferred to pay all together.
  • The estimate of monthly expenses depends upon the individual preference as to how he wants to spend as per the limited budget decided or lavishly. But for a person coming from a humble background, 1000 euros per month would be sufficient which includes accommodation rent, food and some shopping. For transportation, a student leap card is advised to be made as soon as you enter Ireland which makes you save some of your expenses along with a PPSN which helps you get a part-time job (works as a government ID which helps to track your taxes that you pay to the government).

Overview

UL was a breath of fresh air. It was a one off experience for me that I'll never have again in my life. That said, I really think the university can do better in terms of checking on their international students in terms of accommodation and actually bringing in the concept of placement. If these 2 can be taken care of, I think it'd become the most sought after university in Europe.

I think UL stands out till date for me, not particularly for the degree education, but more for the extra curricular aspect of it. Everyday there'd be something going on in the campus at some corner. With marvelous infrastructure and a plethora of events happening in every nook and corner, you are bound to get yourself involved and will eventually fall in love with campus life. I was part of International society, Music club and table tennis club and loved my time in all of them. The UL library and sports facilities are amongst the best in Ireland, so if you have an eye for these I'm sure UL is your place to be.

How could I manage a supervisor for PhD from University of Limerick?
P
Piyush Punyani
Oct 2, 2024 00:22

Managing PhD supervisors requires balancing diverse opinions and expectations. You typically have a main supervisor and possibly assistant supervisors who offer additional expertise. Clear communication about expectations is crucial at the beginning. Keeping detailed notes from meetings helps in navigating differing advice. Building strong relationships is vital; research potential supervisors beforehand and attend university events to assess compatibility.

If conflicts arise, address them directly with evidence-based discussions. Maintain professionalism, even when faced with challenges, as good relationships can lead to collaborations, job recommendations, and mentorship opportunities, significantly enhancing your PhD experience and future career prospects.
