PgDip Mechanical Engineering with Management

Queen's University Belfast

Honestly I cannot make any complaints about the university itself. The only thing that isn’t ideal is the area that it is in, it’s not terrible but it’s not what it could be. But the other aspects like the facilities are exceptional. The students union is the best place to be, and that’s even if you aren’t a uni student. The amount of societies and the atmosphere in the SU is incredible. The SU team does amazing work and knowing them and interacting with them is always a pleasure.

Lively and welcoming campus with plenty of activities for both younger and mature students. Educational support from faculty staff is excellent and operations/maintenance staff keep facilities in tip-top shape. Circulars to students/staff are very informative and roll-out of H&S/wellbeing initiatives are much appreciated by the student body. As the university campus is positioned across the city centre, parking is limited for staff/students, so continued improvement of public transport links and corridors are critical.

Mostly great lecturers, technicians and facilities but could use a bit more flexibility towards students regarding tests and mandatory classes.

I think some of the profs are really great and the way you can easily interact with them. The community overall is awesome too. Could be improved with more practice questions

The student union is amazing, there’s always plenty of fun events and initiatives to improve student life. The varied clubs and societies are great and the campus is gorgeous. I wish there were more facilities for automotive / mechanical engineering such as wind tunnels

Elmwood One is a fantastic facility that's perfectly placed and well maintained. Plenty of amenities available throughout the day. The Student Union itself is extremely progressive, active and is consistently delivering on campaign promises. The Union Bar is constantly buzzing and Mandela Hall is always hosting events. I've had some issues with the student support. When I was recommended to take academic leave, I was assured that student support would be available to me. I then found that I wasn't entitled to said support after starting my leave, which was frustrating.
