With four campuses across Northern Ireland, Ulster is embedded in every aspect of the region?s life and work. Established by Royal Charter in 1984, it can trace roots back to the Victorian era ? the Belfast School of Design(1849)and Magee College in Derry~Londonderry(1865)are both founding constituent parts of the modern institution. At Coleraine campus, course provision is broad ? biomedical sciences, environmental science and geography, psychology, business, the humanities and languages, film and journalism, travel and tourism, teacher training and computing are particular strengths. The Belfast campus provision spans an increasing and exciting range of subjects including architecture, hospitality, Irish language, event management, photography and digital animation.
