   How it compares

   In Ireland, Shannon College is one of 28 universities or higher-education institutions listed in the country count here, but it is much narrower in focus than a general university because it concentrates on hotel management and hospitality study. That makes it a better fit for applicants who already know they want that field, rather than those looking for a broad subject mix.
