Ulster University

We aim to provide a high quality and challenging learning experience that equips students with the knowledge, skills and confidence to become responsible global citizens who make meaningful contributions to their profession and communities. We provide business education which engages students in a challenging and stimulating experience, supported by deep engagement with business and related bodies. Graduates develop qualities needed for employment, exercise personal responsibility and management; and engage in decision-making within complex and unpredictable circumstances.

The Ulster University Business School conducts research which is both internationally recognized and impactful. It is in the top quartile for research output and ranked 7th in terms of research impact across all UK Business Schools. Key research themes include: corporate governance; economics; marketing; human resources; operations. Each of our researchers is an outstanding investigator and this is reflected in the training our graduate students receive during their studies, with Faculty and students publishing their innovative research in the top journals.

Civil Engineering teaching is delivered across MSc, BEng and BSc courses at Ulster providing the full range of graduate outputs from IEng and CEng. The course is research informed through academics involved with the Built Environment Research Institute. The courses cover both the fundamentals of civil engineering - structure, geotechnics, land surveying, environmental and highways alongside construction management giving a rounded graduate that is ready for the workplace.

Civil Engineering research encompasses three specialist areas at Ulster: Fire Safety Engineering, Highways Engineering and Construction Management. Ulster's Fire laboratory is a unique facility where materials and structures can be tested to destruction and outputs have included new Eurocodes. Ulster's Highways laboratory is at the forefront of novel pavement design and non-invasive testing techniques which Construction Management research has investigated procurement and embedding of Buidling Information Modelling into construction processes.

Computer Science degrees at Ulster are founded on appropriate underpinning theory but have a specific focus on the development of practical skills that are relevant to the needs of the computing industry. There is a strong emphasis on employability skills across all of the programs and all full time students are expected to undertake a placement year in industry as an integral component of their degree. Students can choose from a range of degree programs in areas such as computer science, software engineering, computing technologies and computer games.

Ulster has more than doubled in terms of academic & research staff, the number of PhD students graduating annually, and in the volume of highly competitive external research funding we attract over the last 10 years. Academic staff conduct internationally excellent and world-leading research in intelligent systems, pervasive and mobile computing, next generation networks, and artificial intelligence, in four research centres: Information and Communications Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Applications, Smart Environments and the Intelligent Systems Research Centre.
