Architecture student here. We had excellent tutors for our SuperStudios course and gave really helpful suggestions on presentation and other architects we could learn from to improve our studio grades. Needless to say the studio grades were the highest out of all the other end-of-year marks. We have a small workshop but it could have been used to its potential if the first years were taught or learned to practice some advanced modelling skills with wood. The grades for essays were difficult to improve as sometimes we didn’t, or weren’t given enough resources to work from. If we were lacking in any equipment or facilities, the uni was just a couple of minutes away from the nearest print/art shop, but I do feel we should’ve had our own A1 printer for printing sample pages at least. Otherwise, its an excellent uni and can’t wait for the second year.

Ulster University Belfast lacks the facilities such as a proper student union and spaces for other activities this hurts the small number of societies and groups that the uni has.

The teaching for my course is extremely high standard. However, the Jordanstown Campus has seen better days and the problems associated with moving to Belfast campus will probably mean I will never get to use it. The sports facilities at UUJ are impeccable.

Facilities are always clean and tidy, course is interesting and support is there if needed. Limited food halls however. Campus is spacious and the staff are very understanding and helpful

The university itself is small in size. This allows students and lectures to build invaluable bonds. This helps to motivate students and staff to achieve their full potential.

Brilliant university! I study nursing and the support you get from the lecturers are out standing. Although the uni lacks sports facilities, all the other facilities are brilliant. Couldn't fault it.

Currently studying sociology with criminology at this university. Would highly recommend as the lecturers are super helpful and sociology society is the best.

Tutors that actually want to help you and a beautiful campus at magee. I study social work and it's a well paced course, I'm currently on my second year at placement and am really enjoying it!! Only one more year and I'll be qualified.

I only speak for the Jordanstown campus. It is an excellent campus with all facilities within one building while only a few classes are in a secondary building. Therefore, it is very easy to get around and to find your way with all rooms and numbers having a clear system. My cource so far is excellent with lovely teaching staff. The student union is not the most attractive place with the area feeling dated but they do provide lots of different activities for the students. The carrers department, although I have never used there facilities, are very easy to find along the main corridor.

Course isn't structured enough. Course director is good although some lecturers cannot teach. The facilities could be better and this will be seen when the university moves to Belfast, hopefully!

Jordanstown campus is very good as you have loads of opinions of places to go when on your breaks for food and coffee. Although the campus is massive and very easy to get lost in. If you have a long break it is good as you can go to the gym on campus which is an amazing gym.

I believe that ulster university in particular the coleraine campus in which I am studying at, is a very good campus, and I would advice future students to come and study here. The campus is really big and it's really welcoming. The facilities are really good including the gym if you want to work out, the lecture halls are massive and everyone fits in. The lectures are outstanding in terms of always willing to help when you need.

Coleraine - modern campus, great vibes around lecturers and students. Not the same level of nightlife, but hard to beat Kellys and the Anchor is a handy spot too.

Currently studying Ba Hons photography with video, honest opinion: go somewhere you can combine your photography with something else, you'll learn a lot more. campus is standard.

Student union is very good, cheap food and very helpful. Could do with some of the restaurants staying open later for students in lectures til later. Access to help can be got from older students if it's required

Lack of facilities and access to online learning portals for associate students, also a lack of relevant topics within the course itself with no opportunity of choice. Careers services should point you in the direction you want to go, and not the direction that your previous qualifications or experiences dictate you should go. The student union isn't relevant as I have very little contact with it in being an associate student. The organisation of my experience overall could have been better managed. Some students were unsure of deadlines, including me, and also whether or not we had exams or assignments or even both. The organisation of classes can also be taken into question, as there were a few times we were left in the dark about whether class was on or not. The facilities within the classes were sub par. The computers rarely worked, and the facilities for sports students through our associate college, Southern Regional College are awful. The gym equipment is that old that it can not be fixed as the company doesn't exist any more. When I was in a quality assurance review "practice" meeting I mentioned this and was told we received a £5000 treadmill, which had been stuffed into the corner never to be used. After this I was removed from the review panel, in an effort to silence my student voice on how bad the situation is in order to avoid a quality review assessment. The end of year exams were also a bit laxy dazy, we were stood outside the exam hall ready to go in only to find out our exam wasn't in it, and all had to race up 8 flights of stairs to make it to the correct room on time. Not what you want to be doing before a 2 hour exam on the policy and planning of sports in Northern Ireland

My course is a very DIY course as I haven't recieved much help from lecturers other than the bare minimum. The Coleraine campus is clean and tidy however it is very far away from the other campuses which are in Belfast and the night life isn't very good. The careers services are good, and the facilities are good.

The Coleraine campus is clean and beautiful, and it is a beautiful part of the country, however it is very far from the other campuses which are in Belfast. It hasn't got great night life. In terms of my course (Biology) I have felt like I haven't received much help and it's a very "DIY" sort of course. The Lecturers don't want to know you unless you're they're favourite. The facilities are good.

University campus in total was amazing and spending my 5 years of life in there was really good.. Students union was very supportive and encouraging. The facilities was affordable for students and my CV was helped by thr careers department..

Not the most attractive looking university but on a nice day there is an amazing view of the sea. An overall chilled out uni. Physiotherapy lecturers could not do more to help you out! It was close to home so didn’t have to move out. Decent nightlife in Belfast about 5/10 mins away by car (if living in halls). The library is big with a quiet area which is useful if you are one of those students who likes to study in silence! Also a range of separate rooms available to book if you want to hold a study group.

Ulster University Jordanstown campus is a large site which is easy to navigate because of the numbering system, the only problem with the campus is it is outside of belfast. There are many eating facilities which are reasonably priced although there is no bar. My course is Engineering Management and it is well run and the lecturers have been very helpful. The student union could do more in terms of promoting events and opening the bar. The careers staff have been very helpful in preparing cvs and getting ready for interviews.
