SHAPING A
BETTER
WORLD
Thank you for considering Queen’s
for your third level education.
You are not alone: over 25,000
students fill our campus and online
classes, helping make our university
a diverse, vibrant and challenging
option for every student.
This prospectus is designed to
give you a real sense of life at
Queen’s, where we are committed
to shaping a better world through
life-changing education and
research, and investing in both
students and staff to ensure
excellence and impact.
Our Strategy 2030 drives forward
how we continue to shape lives
at home and across the world
and sets out the impact that
Queen’s has across a range of
areas. We aim to inspire you,
the global citizens of tomorrow,
by delivering a transformative
education and student experience.
We offer flexible and broadbased learning opportunities,
with wellbeing, inclusivity and
cultural diversity at the centre.
Coming to Queen’s is not just
about receiving an education;
it’s also about enjoying a unique,
life-defining experience, which
will equip you with the skills for
a successful future. One of the
2
longest established universities
in the UK, Queen’s is ranked
85th in the world in the terms
of impact¹ and 4th in the world
for international outlook².
We ensure our students are
internationally connected,
benefitting from both a
multicultural experience on
campus and a range of global
opportunities with our network
of partners. Through our Pathway
Opportunity Programme, we also
offer support and opportunities to
students who may otherwise not
get the chance to access university.
Our educational programmes
are increasingly focused on
sustainability and the ethos of
the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) at a
local, national and global level.
Our central Student Centre and
Students’ Union, One Elmwood,
is the focal point for a range of
integrated and holistic support
services, our sporting facilities
are home to a wide variety of
teams and activities and our
library facilities have been
highly rated by students³.
These are all located across our
beautiful, vibrant campus at the
heart of the dynamic and diverse
city of Belfast which has the lowest
student cost of living in the UK⁴.
Belfast is a leading global location
for investment projects and
major developments in innovation
and enterprise. Central to that
is the Belfast Region City Deal
which will unlock £1 billion of
transformative co-investment.
Queen’s University is proud to be a
lead partner in Belfast Region City
Deal, bringing forward projects in
advanced manufacturing, clinical
research and secure, connected
digital technologies, linking into UK
and all-Island networks. We are also
the first university on the island
of Ireland and only the second in
the UK to achieve the prestigious
Athena Swan Gold Award for our
work improving gender equality.
If you are looking for a university
to engage, challenge and enrich
your education, potential
and life, we look forward to
welcoming you to Queen’s.
