With really good infrastructure, the accommodation in the University is a place that you can call home. Living with your friends or new people from different parts of the world and at the same time really close to the main buildings where you study. It is a pleasant and unique experience.

One of the top reasons for choosing to study at Ulster University - the University is situated in Derry/Londonderry, the north west of Ireland. It’s one of the most exciting locations possible for a student and an educational centre for many centuries. I never regret coming and I am having a great time here so far. The study and the supervision are excellent.

I studied TESOL at Ulster University in 1999 and the reason why I chose Ulster University at that time, was the course was very unique.  Only Ulster University had teaching practice in Hungary where no other Universities provided that in the UK.

One of the great qualities that Ireland has is that it is small. This makes travelling easy and affordable. I am able to see and experience new places on just a weekend trip. This also applies to travelling to mainland UK and other European countries. Airfare to travel to these amazing places is very affordable.
