Stranmillis University College is a university college of Queen's University, Belfast and was established in 1922 to provide state-funded teacher training by the then newly created Government of Nothern Ireland to ensure that their would be a non-denominational teacher training college within the new country after partition of Ireland. This status was undermined, early in its existance, when a statement by Roman Catholic bishops to the effect that a graduate of the institution would not be allowed to teach in a Catholic school soon ensured the that the institution became identified as a Protestant only institution. The institution is located in Belfast, and has approximately 700 students today and offers the BEd, PGCE and TESOL, as well as other courses.
