Campus Tours & Meet Us
Our Campus Tours run on Mondays and Fridays at 10am,12pm and 2pm and are led by our Student Ambassadors.
They'll show you where you'll study, where you will live and the facilities you will get to use as part of your student experience.
Please note that our Campus Tours are generic and not subject specific. If a subject meeting is required, our faculty staff can organise that for you – please contact them on one of the following email addresses, stating your subject interest and the date and time of your campus tour:
- askmhls@qub.ac.uk for Medicine, Health and Life Sciences subjects
- askeps@qub.ac.uk for Engineering and Physical Sciences subjects
- askahss@qub.ac.uk for Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences subjects
The tour itself is a walking tour that lasts around 90 minutes, and takes in the main facilities of Campus, including:
- The Lanyon Building
- McClay Library
- One Elmwood (Our new student centre)
- The Physical Education Centre (PEC)
- BT9 Elms Accommodation

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.
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, kitchen/common room, and the Treehouse, the hub of the village, with reception, a coffee bar, and other student amenities.
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.
