The University of Limerick is the only Irish university to offer these subjects at the undergraduate level: Aeronautical Engineering; Equine Science; Insurance; Physical Education and Sports Science, and Public Administration. (Students wishing to take Equine and Sports Science classes should meet with the Course Leader upon arrival at the University. This meeting is arranged for you by the International Education Division to determine if you are eligible to enroll for particular classes.)
