The Student Experience
These webpages are designed to enable all students, whether full-time, part-time or distance learners, to get started using Ulster University's information resources. We hope that you will make full use of our Library, ICT and Reprographic services during your time at the University.
All of our facilities and services are provided to assist you with your studies. Please help us to continue to maintain our high standards of service by passing on any comments or suggestions for improvements. We are here to help, so whatever you need to know about our facilities, just ask any member of Information Services or contact the Service Desk.
