FINANCIAL AID
The Financial Aid Office at your home university will need to liaise with the Study Abroad Office at Queen's for confirmation of the costs of the Study Abroad programme (email studyabroad@qub.ac.uk).
The University does not offer scholarships to Study Abroad students. However, Queen’s University is recognised by the US Department of Education as a participant in the Federal Direct Loan Program. Under US Department of Education regulations, loans for Study Abroad students must continue to be processed by the home university, so you should contact the Financial Aid Office at your home university for further guidance. The Financial Aid Office at your home university will need to liaise with the Global Opportunities Team at Queen's for confirmation of the costs of the Study Abroad programme (email studyabroad@qub.ac.uk).

Northern Ireland is recognised by the British Council as having the lowest cost of living in the UK. We estimate, as a guide, that you should allow approximately £7500 to cover your personal expenses for one academic year (in addition to tuition fees).
