I enjoyed my time at ulster and feel ready for work and further study. Still feels strange calling myself an engineer but ulster really made me feel like im entering the work place with great foundations.
The University experience was excellent for myself. It was very challenging but also very rewarding. I have a career now to look forward to which makes me realise all the hard work along the way was worth it. I've enjoyed the friendships made along the way, being able to help my fellow students when they were stuck and being able to ask them when I wasn't able to grasp something helped us grow together and develop our skills as engineers which will no doubt help us in the future. Overall a top class experience.
I have now finished university at Ulster University, Magee. Overall I found my 4 year experience to be a very worthwhile one. Yes there were serious times where I was extremely stressed, but I got through it. This will be the same for all universities, not just Ulster University. I highly recommend Magee and especially the Renewable Energy Engineering course I was studying. I now have a job secured related to my degree and work experience.
Very enjoyable, enjoyed the course and the overall university experience.
It was a tough subject but it is worth it to get an engineering degree. Tutors and students were always helpful, especially as I have a child they were able to help me if necessary
An enjoyable experience where I feel I have grown as a person and an engineer. I have been provided with many new skills as well as getting a good understanding on how industry works.
I have completed four years of university so far and have loved every minute of it. It is a requirement that you spend your 3rd year industry working for a company, I have found this very beneficial in helping me develop skills and knowledge outside of the classroom
I have enjoyed my university experience and I would go back again and do it all over again. I have met best friends through uni and have learnt so many new things over the past four years
It has been horrendous. Regretting choosing this university. Unfair and an unjust system. If you want to do well and achieve a good degree then stay clear of this place. Youll end up putting your heart and soul into your degree to then be attacked by group members and academic staff.
Alright
It has been dreadful I wish I could get my money back. Maybe other peoples experiences are different but mine has been a waste of my money and time. It has been incredibly stressful and I don't recommend them in case they cut your course and take away nearly all your course funding too. Believe it or not I am not even getting into all the details it would take to long. The worst thing about this University is how little they care about their students they don't care about your problems, they wont solve them and they basically want us out with out a fuss. Save yourself the hassle.
Terrible! It�s a waste of time for me and I regret my choice of picking such an uninteresting course. The only best part of the uni is the support services - financial support was the best
I did quantity surveying at Jordanstown. The course is regarded as one of the best in the UK for QS. Its a short bus ride or car journey from Belfast. Plenty of car parking facilities. Lots of student accommodation and things to do in Belfast. Dont stay on campus; it's dead and there is nothing to do! Loads of computers and online resource databases for research when doing your dissertation. Books you need for coursework can be difficult to get from the library if your not quick off the mark. Lots of clubs and facilities you are into sports. Unlike most universities in mainland UK, most people come to Jordanstown with a group of friends who they live and socialize with. Also, hardly any of your stereotypical student types;mostly GAA heads who seem unable to leave the house without wearing some form of GAA attire (Jersey, tracksuit, kit bag, etc).
Brilliant course and excellent helpful teachers. Tough final year but that really prepares you for the world of work. Most modules were 500assignments and 500examinations so that is nice. There are only 3 night clubs in the whole 'city' but you make great friends and have good fun!!


University was a great experience. This includes the making of new friends, joining clubs, and gaining freedom. However as expected to get a good result hard work also has to be done alongside the fun things. In the end it was a worthwhile experience that allows me to do what I want as a career.
The city has a large number of restraints/bars/clubs scattered throughout. There are two cinemas, and a bowling/arcade facility just outside the city.
There are a number of clubs which can be joined including LGBT, gaming society, and various sports societies. There's something for everyone.
