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.
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!
For key dates and deadlines, check out our Student Timeline.
Follow us on Instagram for updates!
