Highlights: An Arcadia program isn't just about enrolling you in an overseas institution, however. It's about all of the services that we provide. We encourage you to contact your program manager for advice on the application process, choosing courses, or simply what you should pack. Once you arrive in Ireland, our staff will lead an orientation program in Belfast that will introduce you to the culture, history and politics of Ireland as well as preparing you for the academic challenges of studying in a different educational system. During the semester, you can expect to participate in excursions that are designed to allow you to reflect on the learning that is taking place outside the classroom and help you find ways to make the most of your time abroad.

Campus locations are in Coleraine, Derry, Newtownabbey, and Belfast. No matter which campus you choose, you'll be within reach of some of Northern Ireland's best natural and urban treasures--whether it be the city of Belfast with its rich mix of historical and cultural attractions, the spectacular North Coast with its bays, beaches, and harbors, or the rolling Sperrin Mountains with its forests, river glens and abundance of wildlife.

During your studies at Ulster, you'll become a fully enrolled member of the student body and have the opportunity to experience British higher education and student life first-hand.
