History
[change | change source]Ulster University was founded in 1968, as the New University of Ulster (NUU) in Coleraine. In 1984, NUU merged with the Ulster Polytechnic in Jordanstown to form what is now known as Ulster University. The university expanded significantly in subsequent years, developing into a multi-campus institution with locations across Northern Ireland. In recent years, the university has invested in modern facilities, particularly in the Belfast and Magee campuses.[2][3]
