Challenging academics and the best of Irish and British culture! A member of the distinguished Russell Group, Queen’s University Belfast is respected for its academic and research prowess and its entrepreneurial point of view. At a university that sees itself as equal parts British and Irish, you’ll live in Queen’s Quarter, a mile from the heart of the city. That makes it easy to discover Irish lore and traditions and enjoy the advantages of a modern city. There’s tons to explore beyond Belfast, too. That’s why we complete your program with IFSA excursions (no extra fees!) to places like the stunning West Coast and Kilkenny, the ideal place to sample artisan foods and try your hand hurling, a unique Gaelic sport.
