What our students say
I decided to study at ULLC because it would be an opportunity to study at a renowned university in Ireland, learn about the country's culture and have contact with other international students.
I enjoyed the teaching skills of the teachers and the receptivity of all ULLC members. The teachers are extremely qualified to teach, and they teach in a fun way to learn.
I availed of a Traditional Homestay, and I would recommend it. I think that living with a traditional family helps a lot to develop listening and conversation skills.
Despite having only spent a month at ULLC, I believe that I improved my level of English, and discovered the points that I need to improve.
I would definitely recommend this course to others.
