Relocating to Northern Ireland

With a population of 1.9m, Northern Ireland offers a unique blend of city and rural life, and Ulster University’s campuses reflect and capture this distinct way of life.

Alongside an indigenous and largely SME economy, an increasingly confident Northern Ireland is ambitious and successful in attracting inward foreign direct investment, underpinned by a pipeline of graduate talent, innovation, research and development. The region boasts an impressive cultural and literary pedigree, from Seamus Heaney to the impact of Game of Thrones and the screen talent that catapulted NI onto the global stage in the creative industries. The region’s arts scene includes the renowned Lyric Theatre, numerous popular regional theatres and performance venues, Belfast International Arts Festival and a vibrant music scene catering to all tastes from the Ulster Orchestra to jazz, and local bands and artists achieving international popularity.

Northern Ireland is also home to sporting legends, and Ulster University plays its part in supporting professional sports teams and athletes and in nurturing the next generation of talent at our Sports Village, Jordanstown, located on the scenic north shore of Belfast Lough, just 7 miles from the city centre.
