ulster-scots studies
The Institute of Ulster-Scots Studies was established in January 2001. The institute, based at the Magee campus, the first of its kind in the world, and represents a major step forward in the study of Ulster-Scots language, heritage and culture.
The Institute is devoted to research into the heritages of the Ulster-Scots in language, literature and thought in order to improve international understanding of the contribution of the Ulster-Scots to the world. A network of researchers has been established in the US, Canada, and Australia under the overall management of its Director, Professor John Wilson.
