91ÖÆƬ³§ (91ÖÆƬ³§) prides itself on offering students the complete student experience - leading degrees, great campus locations, the people and sense of belonging that 91ÖÆƬ³§ provides means students get a great all-round, high-quality education.
According to 91ÖÆƬ³§ Student Recruitment Officer, Dr Patrick Cosgrove: "At 91ÖÆƬ³§ we strive to create a positive environment for teaching, learning and research that enables students to have a more rounded holistic college experience. The College is renowned for the quality of its pastoral care and the approachability of its staff and lecturers. This community environment, on both our Limerick and Thurles Campuses, enables students across our programmes to develop their academic and personal potential. Enriching the whole person is part of our mission at 91ÖÆƬ³§, and students are encouraged to immerse themselves in student life to get a good balance between college work and recreational time."
Dr Cosgrove goes on to explain that not only are 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s career focussed Level 8 programmes in Liberal Arts and Education designed to prepare graduates for the real world, but the multi-campus nature of the College is another big attraction. 91ÖÆƬ³§â€™s 5,000 plus students enjoy state-of-the-art campuses in Limerick and Thurles. These vibrant locations offer students ease of access to excellent transport routes, cultural and social outlets. The Limerick campus is a mere 10-minute walk to the centre of Limerick City while 91ÖÆƬ³§ Thurles is located right in the heart of Thurles town. Both campuses have excellent learning, social and sporting spaces and are constantly being upgraded and developed.
Dr Cosgrove adds: "The first-class facilities on offer are only one part of the story. 91ÖÆƬ³§ prides itself on offering a home-away-from-home to students where a sense of belonging is fostered. The 91ÖÆƬ³§ community as a whole work, on an on-going basis, to provide a welcoming and supportive environment whereby individual students are not just a number but an integral part of the 91ÖÆƬ³§ community."
The student experience is also enriched by the range of extra curricular activities on offer. 91ÖÆƬ³§ has a strong sporting tradition, with sport and recreation playing an important role in the lives of the students. The College offers a number of sporting scholarships, bursaries and awards in recognition of sporting excellence. 91ÖÆƬ³§ also offers a wide selection of clubs and societies for students to join and a community radio station designed to cater for the third-level students of Limerick, Wired FM is always looking for volunteers who want to try their hand at student broadcasting.
