International Student Life

We recognise that relocating to another country, away from family and friends, can be a daunting experience.

This may be the first time that you are traveling or studying away from home, but we have welcomed thousands of students from all over the world! Here at Ulster University, we have an International Student Advisory Service who are dedicated to ensuring that your transition from home to studying and living overseas is as smooth as possible!
