if you’re an international student here, be careful. no one on that campus is even informed or trained well enough to handle international student matters. they tell you the basic rules in the beginning but once classes actually start… it’s like they’ve never had an international student in the history of Ulster ever. it’s like none of them know UKVI monitoring regulations, and i’ve been expected to specifically email everybody asking every possible question about any scenario to understand the restrictions and requirements. it’s like they’re gatekeeping you from keeping your visa. i’ve near lost my visa COMPLETELY multiple times due to their tardiness and/or incompetence to inform me of an academic requirement that only they would know and is 100% their responsibility to uphold. read more

I study law at UU. What I like the most is that the lecturers are knowledgeable and approachable and you have full academic freedom: you can build your own argument, even if it is critical of the lecturer's preferred approach, and you get good grades as long as you follow all the instructions. They are also genuinely happy for you when you succeed and ready to help if you struggle. I love studying there. On top of that, the library it top-notch, and so is the student success service. What needs improvement: 1. the wifi and several apps and portals for attendance/scheduling. 2. the eateries (too much unhealthy food) and the coffee shop (they close too early, some about 2 hours before the last seminar ends). read more
