Global Opportunities
Every year over 800 Queen's students take the opportunity to go outside Northern Ireland to study or gain work related experience. While overseas you’ll load up on confidence and independence. You’ll experience the colour of life elsewhere. You’ll enrich your own journey.
Study abroad
The Erasmus programme has been replaced with the Turing Scheme. The scheme is the UK’s global programme for studying, working and living abroad, offering once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for personal and professional development for students.
Queen’s also has a growing range of options outside of Europe, including programmes in Australia, Canada, China, India, New Zealand and the USA. The Careers, Employability and Skills service or your School can help you to research your options.
Current opportunities include:
- Study USA
- Utrecht Summer School Course in the Netherlands
- Study Exchange with Australian National University

No need to speak the language
Advanced language skills are not always necessary in order to study abroad – many of the University’s European partners teach in English, as well as the University’s partners in North America and Australasia.
All students – not just those studying Modern Languages – are strongly encouraged to enhance their language skills and many choose to attend the University’s Language Centre, located within the McClay Library, before they go abroad. Please visit The Language Centre Website for more details.
Boost your confidence - and your degree!
Students who undertake an international study placement are eligible to apply for the placement to be considered towards the Queen’s Future-Ready Award.
The Award provides official recognition of the non-academic benefits of an international study placement, such as improved employability skills, global and cultural awareness and increased self-confidence and motivation.
