50 years of Ulster University Business School

In 1975, we opened our doors to our very first students. Initially established as the Faculty of Business Administration, our journey began with just 40 staff members, 300 undergraduate students and a single Business Studies degree.

Five decades later, we have grown exponentially in academic offerings, campus footprint and regional impact. Today, we are a vibrant community of 10,000 students worldwide and a network of 60,000 alumni in 120 countries, driving business innovation across Northern Ireland and beyond, and are proudly named ‘University of the Year 2024’ by Times Higher Education.

We honour and celebrate our 50 years in delivering transformational outcomes for business through a programme of events, including professorial lectures, conferences and panel discussions. We hope that you will be able to join us in marking this special milestone.
