Buddy Scheme

Are you an international student and would you like a Buddy to help you settle in to University life?

The international Buddy Scheme is an informal way of getting in touch with friendly and approachable second and third year students from a variety of backgrounds (both international and local), who have volunteered to help you get to grips with University life.  Your buddy will pass on information about QUB, help you get to know other students and, most importantly, encourage you to enjoy yourself!
