Foreword
I am delighted that you are considering applying to study at the University of Ulster.
Independent research consistently shows that a university education represents a good investment and that graduates enjoy a higher level of income over their working life than do non-graduates.
Why the University of Ulster? Research that we commissioned about what others think of us reveals that we are seen as a modern, forward-looking, progressive, entrepreneurial university with the ability to get things done. Whilst we are pleased with this response and are confident that we are all of those things, we are not complacent. Instead, we continuously review our courses in the light of changing student and employer needs and expectations.
Wherever possible we offer an academic qualification alongside a professional qualification, or fitness to practice in a given profession. We are pleased that our efforts are reflected in the numerous applications that we receive. For several years now we have been in the top 10 of UK universities in terms of the demand for our courses.
Throughout these pages you will find details of the quality courses on offer, along with information on the learning and social environment at each of our four campuses: Belfast, Coleraine, Jordanstown and Magee. Each campus has its own unique mix of accommodation possibilities and represents some of the best value-for-money of all the Universities in the UK and Ireland. We want to encourage and help you to play a full part in university life and to take every advantage of what's on offer.
Thank you for your interest in us. You are very welcome to contact us in advance of your application to discuss academic or any personal needs that may affect your ability to study successfully.
I very much hope that we will be able to welcome you as a student of the University of Ulster in the near future.
With best wishes,
RICHARD BARNETT
Vice-Chancellor
