Care Experienced Young People

The key contact for care experienced students is Patricia Hampson. 

If you have any queries about support available within the University, would like to discuss your approach to your studies, or should any difficulties arise during your time as a student, please email Patricia on p.hampson@qub.ac.uk.  

Welcome to the Care Experienced section of the website. Here you will find out about the support available to you as a student at Queen's, information on how to apply for the care experienced bursary, and our new project SUQCESS.  Use the menu across the top of the page to find out more. 

Remember - Ticking the box on UCAS is the best way to let us know that you are care experienced.  Here is some information from UCAS on how this works, and why it is so important:  Students with care experience: Three reasons to tick the box | Undergraduate | UCAS

If you can't find information you are looking for, please contact us: Patricia p.hampson@qub.ac.uk.
