Students’ Union Tour
Let our Students’ Union President show you around the best bits of our campus.
Opened in 2006, the stunning Library sets the benchmark for university study hubs, with over two thousand reader spaces set over four floors.
We’ll show you the private study areas, the millions of books for all subjects and take you through the Narnian wardrobe door to the CS Lewis Study Room, named after one of Belfast’s most noted literary sons.
The main Lanyon building was opened in 1849 and is a Northern Ireland landmark.
Named after its architect, Sir Charles Lanyon, the striking building is the central part of the campus and has been voted one of the most beautiful university buildings in the world.
The Physical Education Centre in Botanic Gardens is a state-of-the-art space. Our facilities cater for all mainstream indoor sports.
On your tour you’ll see some of the famous sporting faces whose careers were nurtured at Queen’s Sport. These facilities are all available to new students of the University.
Queen’s guarantees an offer of accommodation in university managed or nominated student accommodation for the first year of study to all undergraduate and postgraduate students from outside Northern Ireland studying on a full-time basis at Queen’s for the first time.
Students must have firmly accepted their offer of study and have applied by the deadline.
BT9 is a dedicated student village, offering a range of modern, comfortable and secure accommodation just 15 mins walk or a short bus ride from Queen’s main campus. You’ll be shown around a typical bedroom, common room, and the Treehouse hub, the social centre, which also includes study spaces and a launderette.
Our city centre locations, Elms BT1 and Elms BT2 are an ideal choice if you’d like to live in the bustling City Centre, close to shops, cafes and restaurants, but only 20 mins walk or a short bus ride from Queen’s main campus.
Our Undergraduate Open Day is the best way to get a taste of life at Queen's. On Saturday 7 September from 9.30am - 3pm you’ll learn more about our courses that you can study with us, plus you’ll have the opportunity to hear first-hand from our current students and teaching staff about learning and living in Belfast.
You will be able to experience our world-class education, unique location and rich history for yourself.
