The University takes great pride in the diversity of its student population. Students come from the United States, Canada, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa. While the majority are full-time students, we have a growing number of part-time learners who combine study with work or other commitments.
From the outset, UL has looked to the dynamically changing world beyond the campus to inform its future direction. Our Cooperative Education programme – one of the largest of its kind in the EU – is one example of how we prepare our students for life and work after university. Annually, the programme places over 2,000 students in work experience in industry, business and the professions across the globe.
UL participates actively in the Erasmus+ programme, which facilitates student and staff mobility to other institutions in the EU as well as work placements. Currently, UL has the largest Erasmus+ programme in Ireland. Our commitment to international mobility is further reflected in degree courses that offer an integrated semester at a partner university.
