Queen's University Belfast

Before I even joined the university, I took part in the Queens Pathway Opportunity Programme, and that experience has shaped my entire time at university in a really positive way. The support has been consistent from day one. Whether I was preparing for placement, needing help in class, or looking for guidance outside of university life. One of the best things has been the wide range of networking events, job fairs, student run events in the student union and the work‑experience guidance I have been provided with. These events made it easier to build confidence, meet employers, and understand what career paths are available to me as the first person in my family to attend university. The staff have always been approachable and genuinely invested in helping students succeed, for me this made the transition into university life much smoother. If I were to suggest improvements, personally it would be helpful to see even more career and work options across a wider variety of industries with more regular communication about new opportunities. But in saying that I do realise its almost near perfect and to give credit where it is due. Overall, the support, resources, and sense of community I have felt at Queens have been some of the strongest parts of my university experience so far.

Great Student Union and affordable accommodation prices in comparison to other UK universities. Also receive GB scholarship automatically if eligible which really helps with finances

I have absolutely no problems with Queen's University. It is an incredible uni with very good support for whenever it is needed.

The Union is great and my course is very well stuctured. There are lots of societies as well. Some of the communication within the course isnt great though (information is left until quite short notice).

I absolutely love Queen’s! The staff and SU are so friendly and really made the adjustment to university life feel so much easier and less scary than I imagined it would be.
