UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK<br />

About the <strong>University</strong><br />

The <strong>University</strong> of Limerick is a vibrant and dynamic institution<br />

enjoying an outstanding physical setting on the banks of the<br />

river Shannon. It has one of the finest sports and recreation<br />

facilities in Europe and a 1000-seat concert hall which serves as<br />

the cultural centre of the region. The university is committed to<br />

increasing the participation rates of mature students and to the<br />

development and maintainance of an environment conducive to their specific needs.<br />

The Mature Student Office was established in 2001 to provide supports, both pastoral<br />

and academic, to ensure the full participation of mature students. The Office also<br />

provides an information and advisory service to the prospective mature student<br />

population in the wider community and co-ordinates the Mature Student Access<br />

Certificate course.<br />
