Fulbright/Ulster University Award

The Fulbright-Ulster University Award provides funding for U.S. citizens to pursue a one-year Master's degree at Ulster University in Northern Ireland within the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Two awards are available: one focused on Humanities and Social Sciences, and one focused on Creative Industries. Ulster University is Northern Ireland's largest university with over 30,000 students across three campuses in Belfast, Coleraine, and Derry~Londonderry. The university is ranked in the top 40 UK universities and is recognized internationally for academic quality and student experience. The Humanities and Social Sciences award provides opportunities to engage with world-leading research centers including the International Conflict Research Institute (INCORE) and the Transitional Justice Institute. Ulster is ranked joint first in the UK for research excellence in social work, education, modern languages, and media studies. The Creative Industries award focuses on the fastest-growing sector of the UK economy, with Ulster ranked joint first for research impact in music, drama, dance, and screen studies. The Belfast campus houses Studio Ulster, a £72 million Virtual Production studio complex. This Fulbright award is part of the longstanding educational exchange between the UK and US that began in 1948, offering scholars opportunities to engage with diverse communities across Northern Ireland while pursuing advanced academic study.
