A Warm Welcome
We have welcomed thousands of international students from over 70 countries to Ulster University so we understand that it can be a daunting experience travelling from around the world to get here. We are here to help make that journey as enjoyable and worry-free as possible.
Preparation is everything so please take time to find out what you need to do before you travel and it will make your journey to university much more enjoyable.
Travelling to your campus
International students should make plans to arrive in early to mid-September to participate in our Week Zero Orientation events. International Student Advisory Service staff and Global Ambassadors will operate our meet and greet service at both George Best Belfast City (BHD) and Belfast International (BFS) airports from Saturday 14 September to Sunday 22 September.
If you are arriving during our meet and greet period, our friendly and helpful team will be available to assist you with your onward journey to campus. So please make sure that you upload all necessary pre-travel documents to CAS Shield so that we know when to expect you.
If you plan to travel outside our meet and greet period, we would recommend that you check out the information about public transport.
You can find further information about travelling to and entering Northern Ireland in our sections on UK Airports and Immigration Control.
Remember, please upload all necessary pre-travel documents to CAS Shield. If you have any questions, you can email the International Student Advisory Service at isas@ulster.ac.uk
