Looking for specific classes? Explore CHART, our exclusive class database — if the Ulster University Program is pre-approved at your institution, you’ll find classes recently taken by other IFSA students.

Ulster University has four campuses in Northern Ireland and each campus is home to different subjects. Search courses at each campus on the Ulster University Global online modules catalogue.

Each course description will have a module code, the semester when the module is offered and the number of Ulster University credits the course is worth. Courses offered in the fall are listed as semester 1 courses, courses offered in the spring are listed as semester 2 courses and courses that are year-long are listed as semesters 1/2. We recommend that you choose modules in Level 4 or Level 5 to ensure the best experience at Ulster. Some students may qualify for advanced Level 6 modules, and Level 7 modules are strictly unavailable to visiting undergraduate students.

If you’re looking for particular subject areas, see below which campuses typically offer relevant classes:

• Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences: Belfast Campus, Coleraine Campus, Magee Campus
• Computing, Engineering, and the Built Environment: Belfast Campus, Magee Campus
• Life and Health Sciences: Coleraine Campus, Jordanstown Campus, Magee Campus
