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 />
