What our students say

Maisha 800x533

“Three things helped me decide I wanted to study at Queen’s. It’s a world-class, prestigious university, with a rich selection of programmes in my field, and it’s located in a beautiful, safe and affordable city.”

Maisha Mitthi Hossain (Bangladesh) Creative Writing

“Coming to Belfast from Nepal, I did not know what to expect. I thought I would find very few people from Asia, let alone Nepal. Little did I know that I would get to experience the best mix of cultures here, celebrated through the International Student's Society.”

Irene Pathan

“The university has a lot to offer in terms of world-class education and career prospects. But the thing that stood out to me when applying was the history and prestige of the university. On campus, I feel very connected to the wider community of Queen’s - past and present.”
