St Mary's University College

In 1949 a separate male department was established at Trench House on the Stewartstown Road, Andersonstown, which became known as St Joseph's Training College.

The two colleges amalgamated in 1985 and was renamed St Mary's University College, in acknowledgement of the college's long association with Queen's University Belfast, which has offered accredited degree-level courses at the college since 1968.
