Travelling to Ulster

A Warm Welcome

We have welcomed thousands of international students from over 100 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 stress 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 less stressful.

As you know the UK government requires those arriving from certain international destinations to self-isolate for 10 days.

Some countries are exempt from self-isolation requirements, you can find out which countries are exempt here.

You will find information here about the packages we have put in place at Ulster to support you through your period of self-isolation.

Travelling to your campus

If you are travelling from a country which is exempt from self-isolating arrangements, then we recommend that you check out the information here about public transport.

In Northern Ireland it is mandatory to wear a mask while travelling on public transport, i.e. trains, buses, ferries.

International students should make plans to arrive at the start of September to complete self-isolation/quarantine, and to participate in International Orientation Week.  Details of our arrival and accommodation transfer service will be available soon.

These are the dates we will be able to help you with your transfer to Dalriada Student Village to begin your supported self-isolation.

If you are not self-isolating at Ulster or you are exempt from self-isolation but would like assistance with your transfer from the airport  to your campus of study you can book a taxi.

Please note you will be required to pay for the taxi upon purchase via our online store and also provide flight details.
