Campus life is great, everyone seems happy and comfortable in the environment. The uni is situated in a beautiful place and it has massive grounds to walk and a river nearby. The local town is great with great facilities for all.

Ulster University open days
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
