With its capital at Belfast, Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom and occupies the northeast section of Ireland. Though a region affected by constant strife between different religious and political factions for almost thirty years, Northern Ireland has never retrograded in the progress of higher education. Universities upholding the value of secularism have flourished despite continuous rifts between Catholics and Protestants in the region.
Students from the world over flock to the Universities here, undaunted by the violence and threats of extremists in the province. Some of the leading Universities and centres of higher education in Northern Ireland are mentioned below:
* Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education
