Great for me as I live just a mile away. Good facilities and lovely helpful staff. BUT paying to park is not good
Great location
Everyone friendly and there will always be someone to help you through anything. Would like more classes as we only have 2 a week
Location is brilliant 10 minute walk to everywhere, shops, university, restaurants, accomodation. Students union is brilliant, involves students in daily events weekdays. University has brilliant facilities for nursing, and library also.
I love the location of Ulster University as it is close to multiple train stations which makes commuting quick and affordable. It's also close the the centre which means there is a good social life. It's a very modern building which I love. I can't think of anything that needs to be improved as I really love the uni.
The university offers wide range support from the student well being team to the foster care support team, it has a wide range of clubs and events to help those going who don’t know anyone to mingle and get involved and make friends. It has great facilities, from the student union on campus to the spacious library.
Lectures are very friendly and very helpful
Worst aspect for students is how the teachers expect us to do everything. In regards to, learning how to reference differently for each teacher. For example I may reference perfectly for one teacher and then an other teacher may say it’s completely wrong. No support for those who struggle on how to start essays. A lot of pressure on students when all the assignments and tests are being fired at them including making us worry about our future. No assistance on finding the rooms that change nonstop
This university is an amazing Uni and campus to study on. It has an old style and a modern feel to it. The university itself has such a beautiful scene in a beautiful city.
I think uni is great. I am coming as an older student but I really enjoy all aspects
for me parking was a major issue. as someone who suffers back problems. Ability to park was highly dependant on the time of class starting. Staff are all amazing.
Student Wellbeing is heavily emphasised, and there are loads of extra opportunities outside of your course to expand your cv
Best - amazing staff and supportive atmosphere Worst - pretty average students Union, not really a place for a night out
Lovely area, lots of nature. Friendly staff and students
Listen to their students

The location is absolutely beautiful and you're able to see right down to the city and the river. The staff are so kind and considerate towards the students, trying to make this the best university experience possible. The only problem I have had is trying to email my course director about some non-emergency enquiries.

It’s very central to the rest of the city, there’s good public transport and there are options for food and coffee breaks on campus. There’s a lot of housing near by and take out options near campus. The staff are all lovely in my course and I’ve felt supported and welcome by then since day 1


Personally, for me the support I have received during my time short time has been impeccable. No question seemed too stupid to ask and if I needed any guidance it was easily accessed. There is no overall negative aspect but I would love to see more facility interaction meaning I would love to get to know other students studying similar courses as I believe this would be very beneficial long term.
Our classes are mainly in person with very interactive teaching styles which I love as well as a wide variance on the subjects which we are taught on. For my course I would love to have more discussion on career prospects especially around career progression as it seems quite limited to my knowledge
The cost was not feasible but for the facilities and location it made for an easier transition and made it easier to make friends and have social spaces.
