What’s new? Student numbers on this campus are expanding – over the next three years we’re offering an extra 380 undergraduate places in computer science, engineering and creative technologies. From September 2012, there will be additional nursing and computer science places, plus the establishment of a new School of Irish Language and Literature. On campus Ongoing investment has provided state-of-the-art teaching, research and support facilities for students and staff. This funding has delivered a student residential village offering en-suite accommodation; a new library; the Intelligent Systems Research Centre and the Foyle Arts Building, housing the School of the Creative Arts. In addition to our teaching and learning facilities, the campus has on-site residential, catering, crèche and sports facilities.

Local attractions The cathedral city of Derry~Londonderry – UK City of Culture for 2013 – is located on the banks of Lough Foyle in the northwest of Northern Ireland. As one of the oldest inhabited places in Ireland the city has strong traditions and a wealth of culture, which combines with an active social scene to make the city an exciting place to live and study. The most visibly striking features of the city are its historic walls. Derry~Londonderry is the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland and one of the finest examples of a walled city in Europe. The city is perfectly located, acting as a springboard into some of Irelands most dramatic and evocative landscapes. Picturesque country villages, the breathtaking Donegal hills, spectacular views along the Causeway Coast and the mountainous terrain of the Sperrins, are all within a 50 mile radius. Consequently Derry~Londonderry is a popular destination with visitors and the Magee campus is only eight miles from City of Derry airport.
