Magee Campus (Irish: Ollscoil Uladh ag Mhig Aoidh) is a campus of the University of Ulster located in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, and is named after the College founded by Martha Magee in 1845. The college was a Presbyterian Christian arts and theological college. In 1984, it became part of the University of Ulster. Located only a short walk along the River Foyle away from the city walls, the campus consists of a mixture of historical and new buildings and modern and traditional facilities. Its teaching strengths include business, computing, nursing, Irish language and literature, social sciences, law, psychology, peace and conflict studies and the performing arts.

Famous quotes containing the words magee and/or college:

    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings ...
    And while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand and touched the face of God.
    —John Gillespie Magee (c. 1922–1941)

    We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
    why American men think that success is everything
    when they know that eighty percent of them are not
    going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
    if they are not why do they not keep on being
    interested in the things that interested them when
    they were college men and why American men different
    from English men do not get more interesting as they
    get older.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
