Social Work (Relevant Graduate Route) BSW (Hons)

University rating (5)

I think the new student union is excellent, you can tell everyone enjoys it because it is busy constantly. It incorporates so many different aspects of uni life in one place. Queens has lots of really wonderful areas to sit with a coffee and study or meet with friends. The location is also great for going out and grabbing something to eat with friends. For me, I don't really have any negatives about Queens. It's been a really good experience for me.

English and Philosophy BA (Hons)

University rating (5)

I could not be happier with my choice of university. My university experience so far has been exactly what I hoped it would be. The facilities at Queen's are excellent as there are more than enough spaces to study and spend time. The library is a great place to focus and get work done. Similarly, the new Student's Union provides more spaces to study, whilst also being a great place to meet up with friends for a coffee in the day, or a drink at night.

MSc Management

University rating (5)

I came all over from India to UK for my Masters and choosing Queen's was my best decision. People here are really friendly and helpful. University does so many things for student for cost of living crisis, also mental health activities, I am a course rep for my course and we can communicate with our module coordinators freely and they listen and understand problems of international student, I love being jn student union, it a lively and great place even for study or you can just sit and chill or can read book. I will not say worst aspect, it is too negative word for my uni but there are still few things which has scope to improve. But according to me , Queen's University have lots of international student came this year and University is really trying best for each and everyone so it is a tough job but they are doing it very well. I love my University and I am a proud student of Queen's University Belfast.

Law LLB (Hons)

University rating (4)

Always a pleasure to study in the Lanyon Building. Very helpful staff who are always willing to guide me, which is particularly important in such a demanding degree. I really couldn’t recommend QUB highly enough

MSc Children's Rights

University rating (5)

Best: student—life, free time activities organised by the university, meeting like-minded people on the course Worst: the strikes are affecting most of my courses. putting them online makes me feel like I’m wasting a huge amount of money on accommodation which is not ideal considering I had to save up for a visa, the tuition fee and the accommodation as well..

MSc Construction and Project Management

University rating (5)

Coming from india the experience studying in Queen’s so far has been surreal, the university facilities are fabulous the accommodation, students union, PEC everything is well maintained the university is so thoughtful of the international students mental that they arranged a whole pre semester engagement events for us which goes on for so many weeks which involve various fun activities and most importantly free tasty food and then the faculty is very friendly each and everyone wants to bring out the best of you. Recently there has been a cost of living crisis in the UK and even with that the queen’s did whatever it could by offering students sum money all in all belfast is a beautiful city with mediocre cost of living and jobs are quite easily available id say its a perfect place for international students, irish are very welcoming and nice people

I think Queen’s is a great university and my teaching over the past four years has been great and I would recommend Queen’s Dental School to anyone; it’s a lovely small community within the wider community of Queen’s.
