About Ulster University
PROS
- There is a strong focus on post graduate employability, which is reflected in the university’s frequent hosting of job fairs and CV improvement workshops.
- For those learners who don’t have the time needed to commit to full -time education, Ulster offers a wide variety of Online and Part -time courses.
- Consistently ranked among the Top 650 universities in the world by Times Higher Education, based on categories such as Student Satisfaction and Postgraduate Employability.
CONS
- Specifically for the Jordanstown campus, there is limited social opportunity on -site, as the majority of students are commuters and as a result go home as soon as classes are finished for the day.
- Students recommend avoiding living in the Holyland area due to exceptional levels of drunken disorder and crime.
