I like the location of the uni and it’s a really great place to meet friends. I don’t love how far I have to travel but I’m hoping to live up here next year.
Good
Good study spaces in library and floor 6.
Friendly staff and students with great support and facilities
Facilities and buildings are top class. Improvement maybe more quiet room facilities
The building does have a fresh, new feel to it The location is awful for access.
Best aspects are the fact there's facilities like lockers and study spaces to facilitate all your needs improvements would be learning about opportunities like summer placements or edge award earlier in the course
I would prefer if the uni had a better student bar
Better Students union and more students events
The facilities and location are good, but as a HLA student I feel like there is a lack of student life
Very good environment. Suited well for learning and great accessibility to materials. Always willing to help and communicate.
The best aspects are the support systems and the worst would be the price of drinks and food in vending machines and cafes
I’d prefer not to say
Ulster University has all the required amenities a student could need. It's modern (in a good way) and has a good sense of community. Centrally located in Belfast, it is easy to travel to and from. The traffic lights between the two buildings on York Street are somewhat dangerous, however, as the green man appears at the same time as the amber light causing drivers to angrily drive toward crossing students. Though I do not place blame on the university itself, it is something new students should be aware of.

Staff on my course really understanding and approachable. Campus location is very central everything in city centre is within walking distance. Student support services have loads of resources and if they can't help they'll try to point in the direction of someone who can.
Staff are friendly, approachable and understanding and do their best if you come to them with an issue. They understand what's it like and want to help. Some assignments could do with a little more guidance and teaching sometimes felt a little bit lost. Practical workshops and lectures are uploaded which is really usefulas you can go over the content whenever you need.
