University of Ulster

The Belfast campus is situated in the artistic and cultural centre of the city, the Cathedral Quarter. Although traditionally associated with art, the campus spans an increasing and exciting range of subjects including architecture, hospitality, event management, photography and digital animation.

Our vibrant campus plays host to frequent fashion shows and art exhibitions and is an exciting place to study and work. It is also home to The Academy training restaurant.

Our new Belfast campus – one of the largest higher education capital builds in Europe – is transforming higher education in the city, creating a dynamic teaching and learning environment. When complete, it will include an assortment of modern, state-of-the-art facilities for the wide range of different learning, teaching, innovation and research activities that our staff and students undertake.

Alongside programmes like art, architecture and business, academic provision will be greatly expanded and this campus will, over the next few years, become home to a wide range of new courses which are currently delivered in Jordanstown, including disciplines as varied as law, computing, engineering and social science among many others.

We are one University with four distinct campuses across Northern Ireland - Belfast, Coleraine, Jordanstown and Magee. Courses are also delivered at our branch campuses in London and Birmingham. With approximately 27,000 students across four campuses, Ulster University is uniquely placed to engage local communities, support expansion of the knowledge based economy and contribute to the economic, social and cultural development of Northern Ireland.
