UL has been receiving US Study Abroad students for almost 20 years and more recently international students from Japan, Korea, China and many European countries. Visiting students are fully integrated into the student body, following the same lectures, seminars, tutorials and taking the same assessments as Irish students. Although Study Abroad students are treated like Irish students they have one special advantage, namely a greater freedom of choice in selecting their programme of study.
Students may choose from an extensive range of modules (classes/courses) in all years and may register across faculties, departments and disciplines. The Study Abroad Office organise an extensive Orientation Programme at the start of each semester for new students, a Re-entry Programme for departing students and Field Trips. Membership of the world class sporting facilities in the University ARENA is included in the programme fee.
Forum on Education Abroad
In May 2008, UL achieved a positive determination from the US Forum on Education Abroad for the quality of its Study Abroad Programmes. For further details on the Forum's Standard of Good Practice please see www.forumea.org
