The breadth of Irish language provision at Ulster and the practice amongst staff and students of the School of Irish Language and Literature of using Irish as a primary medium of communication reflects the University’s strong commitment to cultural and linguistic diversity within Northern Ireland.<br/><br/>Magee’s proximity to the Donegal Gaeltacht enhances its attractiveness as a base for studying Irish and Irish society.
