The University of Ulster
The University of Ulster is a modern, forward looking institution based on four campuses around Northern
Ireland. With over 23,000 local, national and international students and 3,500 employees it is one of
Northern IrelandÕs biggest and most influential institutions. It plays a significant part in Northern IrelandÕs
regional economy.
Our Belfast campus is located in York Street, in the heart of the vibrant Cathedral Quarter close to the city centre. Recently refurbished at a cost of £30 million, the
campus offers students excellent purpose-built design studios, exhibition areas and other facilities. The campus gives Ulster a high profile footprint in one of the UKÕs
most dynamic, up-and-coming cities.
The University as a whole is the gateway to a full range of services to Northern IrelandÕs business community through:
