Stian Gronlund BSc Psychology Student From Norway

Hei! Jeg heter Stian. Jeg kommer Norway

Studying Psychology at Queen’s in Belfast has been something like a dream.

From the first day when I was greeted at the airport, got to my accommodation and was greeted by my Chinese floormates – who then proceeded to invite me to dinner the next day, all the way through the introduction weeks and following “regular” University life weeks, my life has been going steadily in the direction I want it – forwards and upwards. The social and academic foundation that the University sets in those first few days really promotes healthy life as a student – in all areas of life. The School itself has been equally exceptional, hosting lunches and dinners for the International students.

Madeline Doctorate in Clinical Psychology Student

Hei! Jeg heter Madeleine. Jeg kommer Oslo

I moved to Belfast in 2016 because I was accepted to the doctorate program in clinical psychology at Queens University.

I had heard about Queens University, and knew it had a good reputation. However, I knew very little about Belfast as a city. I like that it's a small city that's easy to get around, and nature is always close by. There are many cafes and restaurants! The cultural scene is also something I enjoy, with many music and arts events going on. Because I like to travel and go road tripping, the location is also perfect, as it gives easy access to various stunning places such as the Wild Atlantic Coast, Giant's Causeway, Donegal (great if you like surfing!) and Dublin. I also have to mention that the university buildings and facilities here are stunning, and really give a Harry Potter-feeling (they even have a Narnia room in the library!)
