Ranked in the top 25 Universities in the UK, we are proud to be a member of the Russell Group – the UK’s Ivy League (Complete University Guide 2025).
Belfast is the UK’s most affordable student city (Natwest Student Living Index 2024) and with affordable accommodation packages from as little as £106 per week, you can enjoy a better quality of life than in other cities.
Queen’s is within ten minutes walk of the centre of Belfast, the capital city of Northern Ireland and one of the top ten friendliest cities in the UK (Condé Nast Traveller, Readers' Choice Awards 2024).
Belfast is also the safest region in the UK (UK Crime Surveys 2022/23).
Queen’s has recently invested £700m to develop its campus and boasts some of the best facilities of any university in the UK.
We have an outstanding network of support services to look after your health, wellbeing, study needs, financial security and career prospects.
“Belfast is such a friendly city and I felt welcomed immediately. There is a large number of pubs, shops and fun activities to do which are all walking distance away from accommodation or the university.”
Kate Moodey (Canada) Ecological Management and Conservation Biology
“The biggest surprises in Belfast are the international community and the opportunities being a student here has to offer. At Queen’s, the students living in the accommodation or in your classes provide an opportunity to connect with people from different backgrounds and find others from the same country as you.”
Zach Pfannes (USA) LLM Human Rights Law
“The first thing that I noticed, was how friendly and welcoming everyone was. The minute my plane landed, everyone was keen to help me out with whatever I needed. I knew that the Queen’s staff were kind when I communicated before arriving but everyone in the city was just as welcoming.”
Manasa Ramakrishna (Canada) Medicine
We have a dedicated team in place to support prospective students, parents and counsellors in the USA.
We will be visiting a range of locations across the USA and Canada in 2024. We would be delighted to provide more information on studying at Queen’s.
