The University of Limerick (UL) will welcome over 2,600 international students over 2015/16. This is a record number for UL and they pride themselves in offering the warmest welcome and the best student support in Ireland. They welcome their new arrivals at Shannon airport which is only 30 minutes from the campus. Students are paired with a Irish student through our growing buddy programme. This year the buddy programme paired 225 Buddy volunteers with 699 new International Students. To help their students settle in and meet other students they organised a series of events during the International Orientation Welcome Programme.
Orientation was held over one week and every day was filled with events for international students. Events held were Coffee Mornings, Many Workshops, Treasure Hunt on Campus, Traditional Irish Music Session in Stables Bar, Trip to Limerick Milk Market, Trip to the Burren, Campus 5k run and an International Student Welcome Dinner.
