The Jordanstown campus

The Jordanstown campus is situated seven miles north of Belfast. The grounds lie at the foot of the South Antrim hills, and the land fronting the main entrance slopes down to the shore of Belfast Lough. The campus commands impressive views of the Lough, the Belfast Hills and County Down. Historic Carrickfergus, with its 12th century castle, harbour and modern marina is four miles north of the campus. The proximity of the campus to Belfast is a major attraction for those who choose to live in the city and travel to the campus in private car or via the excellent rail, bus and taxi network.

The campus has a village feel, and is laid out around a central and busy Mall which forms the main spine for 17 blocks of academic, study and recreational facilities.

The University has a strong commitment to health, sport and recreation and the campus is home to the Sports Institute Northern Ireland and the Ulster Sports Academy as well as major new indoor sport and recreation facilities which opened in 2008..
