Queen's University, Belfast

I started in February 2024, and so far the staff have all been amazing and very helpful. The buildings are very modern and clean. My experience has been brilliant so far, and I feel very welcome here.

I could not fault my experience so far. Everything has been perfect - course, accommodation, social life, location, etc. As an English student, I couldn't fault it.

QUB is a supportive learning environment and If I told myself a year ago i'd be here with the most amazing friends I would of laughed. Campus is amazing with an amazing study space in the library and a great social space in the SU. It is upsetting to see recently that the safety at QUB has been poor with girls having to be vigilant walking home and members of the public being allowed in the library late at night which has been creating an uncomfortable environment. Aside from this I have loved being at QUB so far and I cannot wait to continue.

Very well organised course, deadlines nicely spaced out, assignments generally well explained

Hello,
Queens is a great school.
Been attending long time
Beautiful campus
Friendly atmosphere
Everyones helpful

It was very informative and interesting. I made a lot of new friends and met many teaching staff. I felt included and welcomed and like I was part of the Queen's community. The accommodation was clean and tidy when I arrived. It was spacious enough and comfortable, and the living area was big and the kitchen was kitted out with appliances. I very much enjoyed the Treehouse which was the social space. The McClay library is a fantastic space to study and work and the staff are so helpful. The student union building feels like a comfortable safe space where students can gather together. The law building in particular is very new, clean and modern and is a great place to host lectures and classes. I love my course as it has given me a fresh and unique worldview, opening up my eyes to a totally new way of looking at the world. I find my course fascinating and my teachers are dynamic and at the cutting edge of legal issues in their respective areas of legal work. I also find the teaching styles to be perfectly suited to my way of learning. Belfast is a fantastic city to live and study in. There is such a community atmosphere and it feels very safe and welcoming. The people are lovely and warm and the environment is very much accepting of all. I feel very at home in the city and have adjusted to life here seamlessly. It is also rather inexpensive to live in Belfast as opposed to other university towns.

I found the experience very enjoyable. Met a lot of great people, teachers and classmates. Also with the out buildings so close around the campus made it easier to get around, for example students union and guidance centre. I didn't get into Elms Accommodation in first year which are a great place to meet people. However in my final year I stayed in the Mount Charles Building which I really enjoyed and have met friends for life there. The building was situated very close to campus which helped a lot. The facilities at Queens were great. The students union had everything you needed from stationary, to a small shop and cafe, to bookstore and various pop up shops and a place to do a dance class or go out. Queens also has a great and well kept library with study rooms and an open plan layout. I enjoyed Economics as a subject in high school. My course at Queens was Economics and a minor in Finance. I enjoyed the theory aspect of economics but with the Mathematical element of Finance. My lectures were all outstanding and I couldn't recommend this subject as it opens so many doors in the jobs front Belfast is great for nightlife! You can head to the cathedral quarter where on the cobbled streets there are various pubs with live Irish music and good people. Or alternatively there are various cocktail bars dotted around as well. There is the infamous Limelight nightclub ( I would recommend!).

It was very helpful and fun. Everyone was very friendly, and the freshest fair itself was amazing with many freebies and vouchers up for grabs. There were so many different events for every person I stayed in Elms BT1 and I loved it! The people were very friendly, there was activities in the common room all the time and the room itself was perfect for a student. The accommodation was also very helpful and supportive when the Covid 19 pandemic started The library is very beautiful and is a very conducive area to study. The sports facilities at Queens are great and there are many classes that can be joined Every lecturer was extremely qualified and well versed in the topic they were teaching. The course itself is organised very well and there is a lot of support for students City life was very good. It is very convenient there are a lot of small shops, it isn't too busy as well so it is easy to move around

Unfortunately I don't really think there was one. It seemed very independent and nothing was advertised to postgraduates that didn't live in university accommodation. I believe there was one email but nothing past that. Would have appreciated postgraduate inclusion Haven't stayed in it. Heard some good reviews from it though and every seems to like it. It's very well connected and close to the main buildings Sports park gym is class, lots of equipment, space and good service. Library is great, and staff are very helpful. Student union doesn't currently exist but excited for its completion. The speakeasy (bar) is amazing. I'm studying for a PhD so don't have lectures etc. But it's a lovey course and everyone is so supportive. I would recommend to anyone. Fun and enjoyable. Lots of things to do nearby and sights to see. Covid has kind of made it worse, as you can't do anything, but it is a lovely city

Great! There's lots of different things to do. The SU organise a huge variety of events to suit all interests. I stay in private rental, but from what I've seen it's pretty clean and functional... and cheaper than most university's. The main issue would be that most local students go home at weekends, so the accommodation is quiet The library is beautiful. It's huge too, which is handy when it comes to assignments.. and right next door to botanic gardens, in case you want a walk after a hard day of studying The class sizes are small, and the lecturers are so passionate. You also have lots of free time to get a part time job or pursue other interests It's a small city, and a quiet one. It feels safe. It has a good coffee shop culture
