A Warm Welcome
We have welcomed thousands of international students from over 70 countries to Ulster University so we understand that it can be a daunting experience travelling from around the world to get here.
We are here to help make that journey as enjoyable and worry-free as possible.
It’s important that you are well organised.
Preparation is everything so please take time to find out what you need to do before you travel and it will make your journey to university much more enjoyable.
Travelling to your campus
International students should make plans to arrive in early- to mid-September to participate in International Orientation Week. Details of our arrival and accommodation transfer service will be available soon. This will take place in the days leading up to International Orientation Week.
If you are arriving during our Welcome period our friendly and helpful team will be available to assist you with getting to your University accommodation. So please make sure you let the team know of your exact travel plans as soon as possible.
If you plan on taking public transport to your final destination we would recommend that you check out the information about public transport.
You can find further information about travelling to and entering Northern Ireland in our sections on UK Airports and Immigration Control.
The International Student Advisory Service asks that you complete your arrival form before arriving in the United Kingdom, and if you have any questions please let us know! You can email the team isas@ulster.ac.uk
