- Nice infrastructure - including access to GPUs, high-end classrooms and labs, and a gym.
- Promotion of sports - Hub for all kinds of sports, and also promotes sports among students.
- Clubs - All sorts of clubs are present, from kayaking, swimming, to anime and sports and whatnot.
Dislikes
- Expensive accommodation and fees.
- No part-time opportunities at university.
- No big gathering space in leisure time (one is getting built now)
Scholarship
- Yes. I received a scholarship of about 2500. There wasn't a specific name for my scholarship. Some of my batchmates had received this amount as a scholarship. It was the maximum scholarship amount that I have seen the university give as a scholarship for a master's student. Apart from that, there were no other general scholarships they were giving out.







Likes
- Campus: Campus is huge, UL is the 2nd largest in Ireland after UCD in terms of size. Surrounded by trees, lakes, fountains and lawns.
- Good Professors: I had a pleasure to interact with many great professors such as Dr Nikola S. Nikolov and Dr Ciarán Eising, who also mentored for my Master's thesis.
- Learning Materials: We had access to great leraning facilities both Online learning, Library services, Learning Hubs, academic support etc
Dislikes
- Subjects: There were specific subjects which were not much related to my interest and carrier growth, but I had no option to choose different subjects, for instance AI for Games.
- Access to hardware: As a senior Machine learning and AI Engineer (Nvidia) I know how much important is the access to servers and clusters which were not provided to us during the course of my masters, we had to reply on personal laptops and Google collab for running experiments.
- Faculty: Some faculty were not that expert in the respective fields and it was a bit difficult to follow them, we also made a formal complaint to the director (Dr Nikola) about this and he ensured to fix this for the future batches so hopefully this will be resolved.
Scholarship
- Yes, I was offered a scholarship of 4000 Euros. Indian students scholarships: https://www.ul.ie/gps/international-student/scholarships-international-students/indian-students-scholarships
- 4000 Euros. None that I remember. As per the website on UL the latest updates are 125 students and Euro 400,000: https://www.ul.ie/news/university-of-limerick-students-awarded-scholarships-totalling-eu400000





Likes
- Brilliant and very accommodating professors they are always ready to help you guide and also appreciate your work .
- Scholarship opportunities - University of Limerick provides excellent up to 60% university fee waiver even I got 60% off my fee and it helped me cover the education costs very easily.
- Campus is huge and has all the amenities such as Spar and stationary and also BOI on campus.
Dislikes
- There is more emphasis of research in the course
- It is a short program but they try to squeeze in a lot of subjects that makes it quite overwhelming although the teachers are quite supportive
- Not a lot of community programs for international students.
Scholarship
- Yes, there are scholarships, as I got one; only 4 other batchmates of mine got this scholarship. The eligibility criteria vary year to year depending upon the profiles of students and also there is an interview conducted by the Director of the course to decide this. The number is now very, very small it again depends on the University but it is at atleast 4-5 students per batch.






Dislikes
- Lack of support for placements. it would have been if they had more career fair or a placement portal.
Likes
- College Infrastructure
- Professors and their way of teaching
- Affordable living on-campus
Dislikes
- There is nothing to dislike about the University of Limerick. Everything is so perfect apart from some unknown incidents that happen on-campus late at night but that is something that the faculty cannot do anything about as it is an open university and one has to be vigilant enough to take care of oneself.
Scholarship
- Yes, I did receive a scholarship of 1500 euros, which helped me to pay less for my tuition fees. The name of the scholarship was the University of Limerick Postgraduate Scholarship. The criteria for this scholarship to avail is to have good credits in their bachelor's along with work experience in this field.
- A few of my batchmates received a scholarship of 1500 euros.
- 0.1% (up to 125 students) receive scholarships each year. The typical amount varies but most of them get a 1500 euros scholarship.

Likes
- Cost of living and tuition fee was the most important factor, 2nd was that ireland was an English speaking country, 3rd was the curriculum of my course - was pretty different from all the other management courses.
- I like that UL gives you an international experience at an affordable price. You get to meet people from different countries and get a peek into the charming Irish culture. The faculty is great and really give their best to retain the quality of the UL brand as such.
Dislikes
- I dislike the disinterest of the university in getting their students proper affordable accommodation. I had a very bad experience in terms of finding accommodation in Limerick. And that was my main reason for leaving Ireland as well.
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.
Scholarship
Yes. It was a generic scholarship offered to Indians if you had a 75% CGPA. I got 1/4th cut off from my tuition fee.
Likes
- The campus and student life in my university is great and the cost of living is better in limerick comparing to the capital city Dublin.
Overview
My overall experience was great because this is the first time I came out from my home town and had to lead an independent life. If you are confident about yourself and have some patience in everything, you'll have a great life here regardless of the University you're choosing.
Scholarship
I received a scholarship of 4000 euros from my university. It's because I have my grades/marks which is above 75% in my UG.
Overview
I have chosen this university because this is one of the top universities of Ireland with so much facilities and I have gone through various researches as well so I found this university to be good for me.
Overview
There are various websites like Study in Ireland. There are Facebook groups like Study in Ireland with respect to the particular year. There are various consultants on the groups and they also help us. They don't charge any fees.
Overview
Affordable cost of living and low tuition fees. The content of the program was perfect for me.
Scholarship
I got an academic scholarship of 25% off on the tuition fees.
