Re: University of Ulster applicants 2012Congratulations! Might see you next year then!(Original post by Dbx125)
Hey lol me too. I got my unconditional for English. Tell me, have you got a welcome pack yet from Coleraine or do we not get those until August?
Didnt know about the open day on Wednesday where did you find out about it?
. I have not yet received a welcome pack from Coleraine, just a letter from UCAS congratulating me on getting a place (having replied to my offers) and how to confirm my attendance with the University. I assume that we will get those in August because as of yet I have not received anything from Coleraine. I was invited to the open day just over a month ago. Originally I received an e-mail inviting me to an interview of sorts, but at that stage I didn't have a reply for any of my courses! After two weeks I received 3 Unconditional offers and 2 Conditional and e-mailed the University asking if it was OK to still attend the open day/interview even though I had received Unconditionals and they said yes...I received another e-mail the other day confirming that I had been given an appointment and what time I should arrive at. I must say I was very happy with the university and impressed by the fact that most of the English lecturers are published authors! The lecturers I met were very informative, friendly and approachable. Very excited about starting in September

Re: University of Ulster applicants 2012Congratulations! I accepted my place and sent a confirmation e-mail but haven't heard anything since! Got an e-mail yesterday about how they're running behind with offers and thanking me for attending the interview, which is a bit late lol

Re: University of Ulster applicants 2012Hey everyone, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'll be attending Coleraine in the fall for my master's. Looking for a place to live so if you know of anything, let me know. I accepted my offer last week but haven't heard from Ulster except for the fact they received it. I should still probably get on top of my visa requirements and all. ha

Re: University of Ulster applicants 2012Thanks(Original post by ohirome)
Hey, well done! Im moving into a house with some of my friends in August. Are you looking for somewhere?
well done to you too ... yea i've been advised that Jordanstown is too big a hassle and expensive for commuting all the time and i don't know whether to get a house and rent out the other rooms or try to find a room in someone else's house.
Im from the North Coast so i could drive down aswell but thats depending on the timetable
Do you know anything about the timetable etc?? -

Re: University of Ulster applicants 2012I'd say just try and find a houseshare. Have a look on gumtree or post an ad in the UU section on here. Im v excited though I've been studying in Glasgow for the last 2 years so kinda dreading living back in Belfast again haha.(Original post by Bella2012)

Re: University of Ulster applicants 2012Just gonna introduce myself. This is by far the best website for prospective students I've used so far, so thanks guys. My name is Lisa Jane, and I've just confirmed my place at UUC 2012 for Media Studies and Productions...I'm WAY excited lol. I'm just looking to make some friends before term starts to be honest, I'm scared I won't make any because I'll be slightly older than everyone else (twenty-two). But yes, anyone else doing this course?
