Student Profiles

Hi, my name is Fengyu Zhang. I graduated from China Queen’s College in 2018. Now, I’m doing my PhD in Queen’s, and I feel really lucky and satisfied. Staff here really cares about their students, and take care of them well. Since I’m doing PhD, I spend most of my time in the lab, doing experiments and reading papers. Colleagues are professional and always willing to help, and I’m now getting more and more comfortable in the lab.

Hi, my name is Wang Lu, and I am a PhD student at Queen’s University of Belfast. I used to Queen’s student in CQC, when I was an undergraduate student. That period time was really amazing, and I accepted the same courses as the local students of Belfast. What impressed me the most is that teachers always encourage and guide us, and they can always teach vividly and make the classroom active.
