Undergraduate Student Induction

Congratulations on making it to the next stage in your education – and taking a major step in life! We look forward to welcoming you to the Queen’s community.

Our Welcome Event will be held on Thursday 11 September at 9.30am in the Whitla Hall. Here you will have an opportunity to connect with each other and with your teaching staff, and even to win an airfryer! Lunch will be provided. 

Are you excited? Nervous? Wondering how it feels to be a new student? Find out what it’s like to get started: take a look at these testimonials from our current or graduating students, discussing their experience of starting their degrees, and then take a look at the practical information relevant to the degree you intend to pursue.
