Biological Sciences - BSc (Hons)

Queen's University Belfast

As an international student, I truly feel welcomed and supported by my classmates and professors. From the beginning, they have been kind, patient, and encouraging, which has helped me adapt to a new academic and social environment with confidence. There are many opportunities for us to speak, share our ideas, and actively participate in both academic discussions and wider community activities. In classes, we are encouraged to ask questions and express different perspectives. Outside the classroom, there are also events, societies, and volunteering activities that allow us to become involved in the local community. These experiences not only improve my communication skills but also help me feel that I am part of the society here, rather than just a visitor. I am grateful for the inclusive atmosphere and the support I have received, which has made my journey as an international student meaningful and rewarding.

I really enjoy the student life and experience. Clubs and societies are great and there’s a great effort being made towards student safety

In terms of facilities majority of the lecturer threates are comfortable and have properly working equipment in terms of audio systems. The facilities are always clean and well maintained. In terms of location it is close to the city centre, has parking nearby and the buildings are close enough that you cna work between classes in time. In terms of student support they always say to email them if needed and have discussion boards set up on canvas for questions. They offer one on one support of students with learning disabilities and holds general session to help guide people through revision and assignments. In terms of campus look and feel it is colour with posters and each building just looks nice. For student life they have lots of clubs you can join. The student union is a really ncie building, well maintained and clean and has a rnage of different facilities from a shop, bar, chill zone to an area you cna study in with plugs to charge devices and free wifi.

There’s a really great community with lectures who genuinely care about making your experience the best it can be. The facilities and resources are amazing and there’s always different activities on.

Friendly and extremely helpful staff. Every time I had any kind of issue I was immediately able to find someone that would help me solve it. Very social experience in general, a society for everything and plenty of socialising opportunities through events. Beautiful buildings and campus
