International Welcome and Orientation
At the start of each semester the University holds a Welcome and Orientation programme for our new international students. The 
programme includes lots of useful and interesting sessions and exciting activities to help you make new friends and get settled in to life at Queen's.
Here is a sample of what it is about:
- How to speak 'Belfast' - learn about local slang
- Cultural Adjustment - making the most of differences
- Studying at Queen's - preparing you for a different academic experience
- Accommodation - both University and private sector. Learn about how housing contracts work, what is expected of you, and how to make sure you get the best value for money!
- Keeping healthy - from local food to fitness facilities and doctors
- Having fun! - join in the busy programme of social events for international students.
Welcome and Orientation for the first semester of the 2012 / 2013 academic year will take place from 10-16 September 2012. Attendance on the International Welcome and Orientation programme is compulsory, so please ensure that you arrive on time to attend the programme so that you get the best possible start to your studies!
The Meet and Greet service
At the beginning of each term we send our Meet and Greet team to the two Belfast airports to meet new students and take them back to the University to help them settle in. The Meet and Greet service will be available at both Belfast airports on 10 and 11 September 2012, so if you would like to take advantage of this service, please ensure to arrive in Belfast on one of these dates.
We will update this page with further information soon, so please check back for lots of information, or join us on Facebook for regular updates.
