Description

Ireland Queen's University Belfast (QUB) is the centerpiece of a vibrant and revived Belfast. With the peace process well underway, the commercial benefits can be seen in all the new and renovated buildings. With multiple opportunities to fully integrate into QUB student life and a variety of course offerings, you may find the idea of studying at Queen's much more appealing. Spend a semester or an academic year immersing yourself in the Scottish culture and the lifestyles of locals. Belfast's history and its manageable size make the city itself into a laboratory for academic and experiential learning. Top-quality teaching and research, an active campus environment, and opportunities to fully integrate into QUB student life are just a few of the qualities that you may find attractive about Queens.

Courses may be selected among various departments. You will earn the following hours of credit.

* Fall term: 12 credits.

Highlights

Along with comprehensive course offerings, you may appreciate that the University houses one of the best music schools in the United Kingdom. If you favor history and politics, you'll find a selection of unique courses in the politics of divided societies. In whatever area you concentrate your studies, you'll benefit from top-quality instruction and will enjoy the flexibility to design a curriculum that includes courses from various departments. A typical course load includes three courses per semester that each award five credits, or three courses per fall term that each award four credits.

The presence of proportionately fewer international students (1,000 only 300 of whom are North American on a campus of 23,000) enables study abroad students a high degree of both academic and residential immersion in the Northern Irish culture.
