A World Class Study Abroad Experience

At Queen's, we are proud to be a University that is internationally recognised and globally connected. A semester or year of study with us can be truly life changing. Queen’s has a reputation for world-class teaching and, as part of the UK's prestigious Russell Group, the education you will receive here is fully informed by researchers having a huge impact across the globe.

Over two hundred students come to Queen's each year to study abroad for a semester or an academic year and to experience a world-class education in a thriving city. Small enough to feel like home, big enough for adventure, Belfast is a modern capital city known for its friendly welcome offering a truly unique study abroad experience.
