evidence: Derry is home to the Magee Campus of Ulster University, formerly Magee College. However, Lockwood's[176] 1960s decision to locate Northern Ireland's second university in Coleraine rather than Derry helped contribute to the formation of the civil rights movement that ultimately led to The Troubles. Derry was the town more closely associated with higher learning, with Magee College already more than a century old by that time.[177][178] In the mid-1980s an attempt was made at address this by forming Magee College as a campus of the Ulster University, but this failed to stifle calls for the establishment of an independent University in Derry.[179] As of 2021, the Magee campus reportedly accommodated approximately 4,400 students,[180] out of a total Ulster University student population of approximately 24,000, of which 15,000 are in the Belfast campus.
