Pre-Semester Welcome

Get ready for Queen’s!

The Pre-Semester Welcome Programme is here to kick things off for all new and returning students. While it's not compulsory, we’ve got activities and events that will help you meet new people, get involved and start your university journey right.

📅 Your School Welcome Timetable will be with you in early September. In the meantime, these events are open to everyone who's in Belfast before classes start — and during the first few weeks too. Come through, meet people, and get settled in!

Follow us on Instagram for updates!

Make the most of your university experience with our dedicated resources. Preparing for Queen’s & Welcome and Orientation

Please note: Event details are subject to change and we’ll be adding more events over the summer (like the Graduate School). So, keep checking back for updates.
