Ulster University
speciality: Biological Sciences

Ulster University offers many different campuses across northern Ireland in Belfast, Jordanstown, Derry and Coleraine. The courses they offer are amazing however they might offer a specific course at only one campus meaning students need to travel across the country for their course. This happened to me. I had to move to Coleraine to study Consumer Managment and food innovations and it was terrible! I hated the city and it had no student life but I live my course so i have contained with it. I moved to Belfast and make a two hour commute in my second year. The lectures are mostly kind and welcoming and the library resources are fabulous. There isn’t many society engagement on the Coleraine campus which often lead me to feel lonely and isolated. It was harder to go out and make friends which was hard especially for a first year in a new city.

Ulster University has accepted me as a postgraduate student with open arms. The Coleraine campus has beautiful scenery and a great walk paved out. When I am on campus I feel a sense of community within the university. Everyone including the staff are friendly and want to help in any way.
My course has been great so far, I love how it is specified to applying our knowledge in a real-life situation. Every lecture has been easily accessible through email and always helpful. The course has exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone in the nutrition field.
