No. Ulster University has been running a variety of online courses for more than 20 years. As a distance learning student you’ll have access to all of our teaching and research facilities, just as you would if you were taking the on-campus course.
There is no need for you to visit the campus, but of course you’ll always be welcome to come and visit the university in person and access its learning resources, research facilities and libraries, talk to academic staff and so on.
