Forget the annual scramble for accommodation! We are the only large-scale university in Ireland to guarantee you on-campus accommodation* with us if you make Ulster your Firm Choice on your UCAS application and apply for accommodation by 7 July.

^{*On some campuses based on demand for accommodation students whose home address is within 20 miles of the campus may not qualify for accommodation.}

No CAO Points Race

If you meet the entry requirements outlined on our individual programme pages on our website then you are guaranteed a place on the programme, regardless of how many people apply and how many people achieve higher results than you. If you get the grades/points we're asking for, you're on the course.

Forget about fees

Forget about fees by availing of non-means tested student finance. A tuition fee loan covers 100% of fees, and is only repayable once you have graduated and are earning in excess of £26,065 per year.
