Ulster enjoys a national and international reputation for excellence in research and teaching, reflected in our Research Excellence Framework and National Student Survey results.  The aspirations of our vibrant student community are met across our four sites, each offering a student experience unique to its location and subject areas.  We are recognised for our outstanding impact on student outcomes due to the excellence of our committed teaching community; delivering a learning experience that develops skills, raises ambitions and prepares future leaders. 

We are uniquely positioned to stimulate and drive forward balanced regional development.  Through pioneering research and innovation, we have contributed to advances that are helping to build sustainable futures.  With a focus on people, place and partnerships, we are committed to building the capacity and capability needed to secure economic growth and other societal benefits.  By investment in world class infrastructure and in our people, we will continue to nurture talent and ambition built on research, innovation, and academic excellence, that is ‘best in class’.  We will equip our students with the skills to tackle challenges responsibly and confidently in resourceful and inclusive ways.  The pace of change, technological advances and disruption are creating new opportunities that we are determined to embrace.  In doing so, we are optimistic that our contribution will deliver a safer and sustainable future for us all.

As a multi-campus university, we are transformative, unlocking the potential of people, place and partnerships to build sustainable futures for all.  We aim to enhance the learning and social experiences of students; through the creation and dissemination of knowledge, enhance outcomes for students, society & cultural life, and the economy; and enhance the working lives and development opportunities of our staff.   We are committed to placing sustainability at the centre of what we do, because we are custodians of the future.
