St Mary's University College was established in 1985, but can directly trace its existence to 1900 and the foundation of St Mary's Training College. Whilst the institution focused mainly on education of women for teaching, St Joseph's Training College was set up to train men and this amagmation of the two colleges created the current institution in 1985. The institution is located on the Falls Road in Belfast, and has approximately 60 staff and 1,300 students. The institution offers courses at undergraduate and postgraduate for teacher training, especially for a Catholic ethos.
The university colleges legacy institutions were associated with the university since 1949, by allowing students to train and study at the university, and in 1968 degrees of the university were offered to the students of these two institutions.
