Tuition fees are one thing but the cost of living (eating, drinking, enjoying your time at university) are quite another potentially expensive beast! Luckily, however...
According to the latest Cost of Living Survey from Mercer... London (rank 17) is the UK's most expensive city, followed by Aberdeen (149), Glasgow (155), and Birmingham (158). Belfast (182) is ranked as the UK's least expensive city.

Our Magee campus (Londonderry) is in the center of what has been named City of Culture 2013 and as the year approaches, what was already a hive of creative activity and live music will become even more carnivalesque!
The Coleraine campus is set near the beautiful north coast (a popular surfing spot) and is only a few miles from the Giant's Causeway, a UNESCO world heritage site.
From outdoor pursuits, like surfing, insane motorcycle racing and world class golf, to clubbing in world class entertainment complexes, to enjoying the quiet calm of art galleries and cultural and historical sites, Ulster has a wide variety of extra-curricular pursuits.
