The University of Ulster can best be characterized by the variety it offers among its four campuses — two in or near Belfast (Belfast and Jordanstown), the Magee campus in Northern Ireland’s second largest city, and one in the regional town of Coleraine.

You'll find a wide variety of high-quality course offerings in the humanities, business and management, engineering, information technology, life and health sciences, and social sciences.

If you want to take particular advantage of your time spent in Northern Ireland, the University offers a large number of engaging courses in Irish history, politics, language, and literature. Like many North American students, you may find the University’s offerings in peace and conflict studies to be particularly compelling.

Your distinctness as a North American student will be valued and welcomed, and you’ll spend many memorable hours gaining insight into the rich cultural tapestry of Northern Ireland’s dual traditions — Irish and British, Catholic and Protestant, Gaelic and English.

Each campus will give you the flexibility to choose courses from any department that interests you; however, to maximize your study time and social opportunities, you need to pursue all of your coursework on one campus only. Most classes are taught in a lecture format, with an emphasis on supplemental tutorial sessions. For a full-time course load, you can expect to take about three courses per semester or term.
