The University of Ulster is home to 25,000 local, national and international students, spread over four campuses in Belfast, Coleraine, Jordanstown and Magee (Derry). A fifth, Campus One, is a fully online e-learning service. Sport is big at Ulster – its vision is to establish itself as the leading university for sport in Ireland. The Sports Institute Northern Ireland resides at the Jordanstown campus, which is also home to the Ulster Sports Academy, a major indoor sport and recreation facility, that opened in 2008.
