The University was created in 1984 by the merger of the New University of Ulster (1968, Coleraine) and Ulster Polytechnic (1971, Jordanstown). This was the first, and to date only, merger in UK higher education whereby what is now called a plate glass university merged with what would now be a post-1992 university; the merger occurred primarily because the university struggled to attract students whilst the polytechnic was successful.
The New University of Ulster incorporated Magee College founded in 1865 in Derry. Magee College was a college of the Royal University of Ireland from 1880 and later became associated with the University of Dublin when the Royal University was dissolved in 1908 and replaced by the National University of Ireland. In 1953 Magee College broke its links with Dublin and became Magee University College, it was hoped that this university college would become Northern Ireland's second university after Queen's University of Belfast, however this did not happen and instead it was subsumed into the New University, primarily as a result of the unwillingness of the Unionist government at Stormont to have the second university sited in overwhelmingly nationalist Derry. The decision caused an outcry at the time
