Life Beyond Campus
Studying at Queen’s University Belfast’s GIFT City Campus is more than an academic journey – it’s the start of a vibrant and connected global experience. Set between Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad, students enjoy the perfect blend of world-class education, professional opportunity, and cultural richness.
Professional and Academic Growth
GIFT City is India’s premier financial and technology hub, home to leading institutions such as HSBC, JP Morgan, Bank of America, KPMG, and PwC, as well as innovative fintech startups.
Students benefit from internships, industry events, and mentorship programmes through the GIFT City Fintech Forum and the International Financial Services Authority (IFSCA). Innovation flourishes in nearby incubation centres like i-Hub Gujarat and the Centre for Innovation Incubation & Entrepreneurship, while Ahmedabad’s vibrant start-up ecosystem hosts regular hackathons and accelerator programmes that nurture creativity and enterprise.
Culture, Heritage and Lifestyle
Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar offer an inspiring mix of tradition and modernity.
From exploring the city’s historic havelis and architectural icons like Adalaj Stepwell and Sabarmati Ashram to joining the energy of Navratri Garba and the Kite Festival, students experience India’s living heritage first-hand. Riverfront promenades, cultural festivals, and lively cafés create a welcoming environment for discovery and connection.
Student Life and Beyond
Whether relaxing at GIFT City’s scenic waterfront, socialising in cafés along SG Highway, or sampling the city’s renowned street food, every day brings something new.
Students can stay active through local gyms, sports clubs, and cultural societies. For those seeking adventure, weekend trips to the Statue of Unity, Modhera Sun Temple, Rani ki Vav, or the White Desert of Kutch make unforgettable memories.
At Queen’s GIFT City, learning extends far beyond the classroom – it’s a truly global life experience.
