Semester 1 & 2

Throughout semesters 1& 2, the International Student Advisory Service host a range of events and activities including a  weekly catch-up for international students called 'Coffee & Chat' which takes place on each campus.

Coffee & Chat has now paused for the Summer Semester, but will restart in Semester 1 of the new academic year.

Select your campus below to find out more about what's happening and how to join!

In order to provide a welcoming environment for our students, we will not allow unauthorised solicitation, recruiting, or marketing during this time.

Student groups or societies who would like to promote their upcoming events, recruit for their group, or help with a weekly catch-up can email the team at isas@ulster.ac.uk.
