Student Reviews
Hear from our international students
The lecturers at Ulster University are among the best in the world. Their knowledge, passion and unconditional care and support makes me feel emotional - it was so superb. The whole experience of Ulster and the warmth, generosity and hospitality Northern Irish people has made a lasting impression on my life.

I have found at Ulster university the people are loving, helpful and approachable. I would advise to not miss orientation as this helps minimise challenges of adjusting to the new education system.

I chose Ulster University because hope, peace and conflict resolution is at its heart and my degree and will hopefully help me secure a career in Humanitarian work for the UN.
