I am currently a student at University of Ulster at the Jordanstown campus, and I would have to say that the experience of this uni depends a lot on your campus. Magee and Coleraine seem to have much more of a community as they have more halls and are much more community centred. Jordanstown has accommodation for about 300 students out of their 19,000 student base which makes your experience there very withdrawn. Belfast is 5 miles away so all the clubs are there and this is also where most students live to get the real experience. Teaching wise I would say again that it depends on the course. Many courses seem to be taught well but there are a few that lack ...  Read the complete review

Having attended UU in both Jordanstown and Magee College, i feel i am in a good position to give my opinion on the University. I attended Magee for 3 years while doing my degree, and although the facilities were often criticised, i never personally found that this held me back in any way. Magee college is set in Derry City, (or L'Derry) , in a friendly area with ample private student housing (although some landlords have been known to take students for a ride) It has two canteens, a students union, shop, careers building, Science shop, student support rooms and of course computer labs and lecture theatres. In comparison to other Uni's, Magee is ...  Read the complete review

I am currently a third year student studying an informatics course and i must say that Jordanstown does offer some excellent computer services, although sometimes i have found it quite didficult to get access to a computer when assignments are due. Overall i have quite a high opinion of the campus and the courses the offer. However i do find that if you have a problem or require help it can ometimes be hard to find, which i found evident recently when a lecuturer lost one of my assignments. If you are a student ust starting Jordanstown, be aware of all people that you can approach should a problem arise and always be aware that you are paying ...  Read the complete review

It was a cold and wet October morning and I was about to embark upon the final stage of my education. I was nervous, as I?m sure everyone else in the hall that morning was. It was exciting too ? at one point I thought I?d never see the entrance of a University let alone be enrolling for a course in one. Needless to say the whole occasion was very formal, various people from the University welcomed us ? the Provost, the Dean of the Faculty and various people from the Student Support and Chaplaincy services. The whole process of enrolment was boring but still I felt that this was an important point in my life and beyond the formalities of form filling I knew that this ...  Read the complete review

Ulster University Jordanstown is good apart from the fact that is costs me £5:20 every day to get in on the buses. The atmosphere is good, i.e. the people are mostly friendly. In comparasion to Queens university there is more of a sense of community. However this isnt helped by the location, meaning that it can be difficult for people living in belfast to experience the night life as the travel arrangements could pose problems. The Lecturers are helpfull on the whole and the campus is all connected under one roof so you dont have to get wet going to a lecture. The canteens are ok catering for people who want to eat healthy food as well as garbage. the union bar is ok, ...  Read the complete review
