GRIFFITH COLLEGE LIMERICK (GCL)

Griffith College Limerick (GCL), is a progressive independent business and technology Institute located on Upper William Street, Limerick City, capital of the scenic and prosperous Mid West Region of Ireland.

GCL was established originally as the Mid West Business Institute in 1988 to deliver accountancy programmes but quickly grew to include a multitude of disciplines. In 1998 the first engineering course commenced and GCL remains the only private third level college in Ireland providing engineering courses.

Over the years the college has graduated thousands of successful students from the Ireland region and all over the world including over eighty MBA graduates

Our lecturers are highly qualified, professional and experienced in their respective fields of expertise. They are fully committed to the success of their students and because of our small class sizes know each student individually, which allows for a better learning experience.
