Delivering Growth and Investment in Northern Ireland
At Ulster University we are committed to shaping the future through transformative capital development projects that enhance campus life and support academic excellence. We are a key delivery partner in a diverse range of growth and regeneration projects and along with our partners, we have a relentless ambition to drive growth, investment and prosperity for the region.
With investment from a range of funding packages these projects will stimulate and support the delivery of skills and talent pipeline and deliver world class research and development and innovation to attract significant foreign direct investment.
The projects will expand our campus footprint through the development of capital build projects including the new School of Medicine building and Shared Island Teaching Block aligning with the university’s strategic ambition to increase student numbers.
Partners
What is a City & Growth deal?
A City or Growth Deal is a package of funding and decision-making powers negotiated by government and local authorities, with the aim of harnessing additional investment, creating new jobs and speeding up inclusive and sustainable economic growth in specific areas. They are agreements between the UK Government, local governments and partners and the cities and regions are key beneficiaries rather than individual organisations or establishments.
They bring together all levels of government to make long-term investments that are tailored to the needs and strengths of the region. Partner organisations, including Ulster University, bring vital financial investment, expertise and thought leadership to accelerate and unlock the potential of the region.
Moving away from a one-size-fits-all investment model, over 26 City Deals have been agreed across the UK to date. Northern Ireland is benefitting from a combined investment package of £1.2 billion across four City and Growth Deals and we are a partner in Belfast Region City Deal, Derry~Londonderry and Strabane City Region Deal and Causeway Coast and Glens Growth Deal.
