Ulster University ''at Coleraine'' ((アイルランド語:Ollscoil Uladh i gCúil Raithin)) is the Coleraine campus of Ulster University. It houses the administrative headquarters of the university and is the most traditional in outlook, with a focus on science and the humanities. It was founded in 1968 as the ''New University of Ulster'' and was later known as the ''University of Ulster at Coleraine'' until October 2014 when it was rebranded with the rest of the university to be known as ''Ulster University at Coleraine''. The Coleraine campus is situated on the banks of the River Bann in Coleraine, County Londonderry with views to the Causeway Coast and the hills of County Donegal to the West. ( ) ==History== :''See also University of Ulster history'' Originally, the concept of a new university was well received by many nationalists in Northern Ireland. This was due to a feeling of bias that unionist communities, or towns, received better facilities and investment. As a result the initial desire of nationalists was to form a new university institution at the already well established Magee College in Derry, County Londonderry, a predominantly nationalist community. Some thought at the time that the reasoning for establishing the university in Coleraine over Derry was a desire to pull population towards the East of Northern Ireland as the university would strengthen the 'Belfast-Coleraine-Portadown' economic triangle, which happened to form the edge of the nationalist/unionist communities. It was suggested that this was part of a unionist agenda by Terence O'Neill, the then Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, to draw nationalist communities from the West into the East and to help break them up. There was no substantial evidence to back up this claim, however it was the idea that led to a number of protests and rallying in opposition. As violent protests continued, the result was that the Lockwood Report was accepted by vote, and O'Neill left the office of Prime Minister, allegedly after being forced to resign. The campus was founded as the ''New University of Ulster'' in 1968 as Northern Ireland's second university, its establishment being inspired by the 1965 Lockwood Report. In 1969, Magee College was incorporated into the university, making Coleraine the primary campus of a multi-centre university.〔''History of Magee College'' at (UU Library website ). Retrieved on August 28, 2006.〕 After the university opened it was decided that students at Magee College studying their degrees would not transfer to Coleraine as they had previously done after two years of study with Trinity College Dublin. In order to meet demand, subjects like French and German were offered in a separate subject called ''West European Studies''. A number of other similar arts subjects were intended to commence at Coleraine, such as East European Studies, Irish Studies, Asian Studies and American Studies. These subject areas typically included history, two or more languages, social sciences and geography. However, these subject areas were never fully developed and were offered only as short courses. However, individual subjects in Asian and American Literature and History were developed. In 1984, Coleraine retained the headquarters role in a merger with the Ulster Polytechnic at Jordanstown. 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ulster University at Coleraine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
