Because of the history of conflict dating back over 300 years, there still remains an undercurrent of suspicion about new arrival to particular areas. This is especially the case in the east and the west of the city.

Belfast is an impressive city for its size, with a rich history of maritime engineering. Previously viewed as a war zone due to the violent Anglo-Irish conflict of the 1980s and 1990s, Belfast is now home to a thriving music and gourmet scene. Another side of Belfast is its maritime history: the birthplace of the Titanic, the city has expansive and well-preserved historic shipyards, and a museum dedicated to the Titanic and her influence on the city. With two easily accessible airports, Belfast is ideal for both international students, and professionals looking for a new adventure.

Belfast is a small, vibrant city. In the succeeding years after the Northern Irish conflict, Belfast has become warm and welcoming. Due to Belfast’s compact size, it is possible to live in leafy suburbs while still being close to its vibrant cultural centre and nightlife. Belfast has an incredibly affordable housing market and is perfect for young professionals.
