Mary Immaculate College is a university-level College of Education and the Liberal Arts, academically linked with the University of Limerick. The College has a diverse and growing student population of almost 3500, enrolled in undergraduate programmes for B.Ed. and BA degrees, and in a range of postgraduate programmes at Diploma, MA and Ph.D level.

The campus has undergone much change over the past few years with the recent construction of two new buildings - a state-of-the-art multi-purpose sports complex named Tailteann which was voted Leisure Building of the Year 2008 by the RIAI and more recently Teamhair / TARA which consists of large lecture theatres, computer and teaching laboratories and a 500-seat theatre. The College has an active and inclusive Students’ Union and has a range of clubs and societies including an equestrian society, a drama society and a radio society with its own radio station – Wired FM! Both on-campus and off-campus residential accommodation are available.
