The Disability Support Service (DSS) are committed to the provision of educational opportunities to Students with Disabilities (SwD) on full-time undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes, as well as mature students and international students with disabilities. We offer a dedicated support service to students registered with our service.
The Disability Support Service welcomes and supports prospective students with a wide variety of disabilities.
Accommodation
University of Limerick has five purpose-built village-style residences on the campus which offer high quality accommodation for an all-inclusive fee.
All villages on campus are professionally managed with a residential manager on site and a full maintenance team on hand.
They are all in high demand so please contact them as soon as possible to register your interest.
International students
We advise all prospective students to contact DSS in advance of their arrival to UL, particularly if they require transport, sight guide, technology or personal assistant supports.
DARE
DARE (Disability Access Route to Education) is a third-level alternative admissions scheme in Ireland for school leavers whose disabilities have negatively impacted their educational performance.
Through DARE, eligible applicants can be considered for reduced points entry to participating colleges and universities, including the University of Limerick (UL). The aim is to ensure that students who face additional challenges due to a disability have a fair opportunity to access higher education.
If you are a DARE applicant wishing to apply to the University of Limerick and would like support with your application, please email Dare@UL.ie, and our UL DARE representative will be happy to assist you.
