Die Universität Limerick ist eine der renommiertesten Universitäten Irlands und führt die Ranglisten der besten Abschlussergebnisse ihrer Studenten. Aus einer dieser Wertetabellen geht hervor, dass die Absolventen der UL gute Berufsaussichten haben, was nicht zuletzt auf das Bildungsprogramm der Universität zurück zu führen ist.

Verglichen mit anderen Universitäten Irlands ist bei der Universität Limerick ein stetiger Aufstieg in weltweiten Ranglisten zu beobachten.

Die Universitätsarena

Auf dem Universitätscampus steht Irlands größter Sportkomplex: eine eigene Arena.

Seit 2002 ist in der Arena ein Schwimmbecken eröffnet, welches in Größe und Bau den olympischen Standards entspricht und damit eine Besonderheit Irlands darstellt.

Die Indoor Sporthalle der Arena umfasst 3600 m². Neben Sprint-und Joggingstrecken ist in der großzügigen Sporthalle auch eine Weitsprunganlage vorhanden. Sportlich betätigen kannst du dich außerdem im Fitnessstudio, verschiedenen Trainingsräumen und im Aerobicstudio. Auch das Munster Rugby Team nutzt häufig die große Fläche der Sportarena.

Jährlich wird die Arena von mehr als 500 000 Kunden genutzt, so beispielsweise durch Sportteams oder Athleten.

Die Arena der Universität Limerick ist 2010 Gastgeber der Special Olympics Ireland Games.
