The university was chartered in 1845, and opened in 1849, as Queen's College, Belfast, but has roots going back to 1810 and the Belfast Academical Institution.
In addition to the main campus not far from the centre of Belfast, the university has two associated university colleges, these being St Mary's and Stranmillis both also located in Belfast. Although offering a range of degree courses, these colleges primarily provide training for those wishing to enter the teaching profession. The university has formal agreements with other colleges in Northern Ireland and operates several outreach schemes to rural areas.
While the university refers to its main site as a campus,the university's buildings are in fact spread over a number of public streets in South Belfast, centering around University Road, University Square and Stranmillis Road, with other departments located further afield.
