Why EEECS?
Engagement
Outside of London, Northern Ireland is home to more software companies than any other part of the UK.
This means proactive engagement with industry, excellent placement opportunities and employment prospects.

Electric Delorean conversion, Q-LAB Makerspace, Farmbot Robotic Farm, Internet of Things Laboratory, Lego Smart City, QUB Rocketry Project, and the NASA JPL Open Source Mars Rover to name but a few!
Support
We operate a Peer-Mentoring Scheme wherein our level 2 and above students mentor our level 1 students.
This helps to involve students with their studies, organise social activities and stay on track all of the time. Each student is also assigned an academic member of staff to act as their personal tutor.
Scholarships
A wide range of engineering and IT companies support students through their studies in the School by offering scholarships, some of which are worth over £25K.
Queen's is also one of the only UK universities in the Power Academy Scholarship Scheme, which offers electrical and electronic engineering students the opportunity to be sponsored by companies such as Rolls Royce, NIE, Mitsubishi and Siemens.
Social Charter
EEECS operates a number of outreach and enrichment programs for staff and students
These include working with Primary and Secondary level young people to teach and promote programming and electronics. Hands on experience, CV building and rewarding projects, all while you study.
