Queen's University Belfast

Location

Located in the capital of Northern Ireland, QUB is considered the Oxbridge of Ireland with a combination of Irish and British identities. Belfast has a rich political history and the university earned an international reputation for academic excellence in social justice, peace, and reconciliation studies.

QUB has a student population around 23,000, a charming Victorian quad, new indoor sports facilities, and more than 150 clubs and societies such as fencing, cricket, canoe, and music. The university is about a mile from the heart of Belfast, so the thriving social scene, shopping and cafe culture is at your doorstep.

Belfast is two hours from Dublin by train and one hour from London by air. There is much to see and do in Northern Ireland as well, including Giant's Causeway and the backdrop to many scenes from Game of Thrones.

Courses & Credits
