Ratings and Reviews
As a master's student, I can't recommend it enough. From mind-blowing cultural events to top-notch staff and facilities, every day is an adventure. The student union – it's like the heart of all the fun and support you could ever need. Imagine a place where you can have a blast while also getting career guidance. I only wish I'd started my journey here earlier.

Very intense course, no time for recreation
Good place to study during breaks and having group studies Good campus
University is good in all terms. Its more than i expected
Best university all over the UK. Best way to teach and learning environment in university. I have not see such a big library and best book over gere
Very student friendly. Absolutely lovely staff. My course is taught at the met. But I never feel less like a queens student.
It’s a beautiful looking campus but it doesn’t make me feel welcome. Would’ve preferred to go to Ulster but thought queens would be better
Great facilities and good scenery
One of the best universities to study in
Very good facilities, excellent tutors, QUB provides great opportunity
Choosing queen's was the best thing that I have made. The faculty, the organization of the courses, the clubs, extracurriculars and the campus were great. I would surely recommend.
It's a great place to study, if you are an international student then at first you will be facing some issues to cope here's educational system. After that you will be fine
Queens university of Belfast is one of the top university for my electronic engineering courses, I really love the professor who takes class for me. Qub is one of the good traditional university in NORTHERNIRELAND IRELAND.
Excellent uni would recommend to anyone, teaching is amazing and very helpful
QUB has one of the best staff and the best campus. Faculties are friendly and everything you'll need is available in campus.
Amazing university with good career opportunities.
A perfect university with a good experience. Could improve support service however
The university is very solid in terms of education, however the lecture rooms themselves and the amenities other than the CTL lab are quite old and need remodeling.
Great experience and loving it
Amazing education experience with global learning exposure
Love it, good course choices and content. Variety of Societies etc available
I’ve really enjoyed my first term at Uni. It’s been quite stress free and beneficial.
Great and helpful staff all across campus and the university has a lot to offer
Very helpful lecturers amazinf student union
As a university it’s okay, I believe the tuitions fees should be lower for GB and international students.
It's an awesome university . It's ivy League . So don't worry ..
Really pleased with my decision to come to QUB. I love my course and have really enjoyed immersing myself in Northern Ireland. It is a very interesting place with a lot of history.
I wish there was more hands on experience for the Computer Science Department.
Great campus and facilities. Many events arranged for students to engage in and to socialize with each other.
Im enjoying my time at qub and am really happy with how everything is managed especially the SU and the staff
Great student atmosphere and high quality teaching - I absolutely love it here!
It’s very good but WiFi doesn’t always work
Some lecturers are not disability friendly at all, others are incredibly understanding and will do everything they can to make your experience better.
Queens is a lovely university with an extensive variety of extra curricular activity on offer! Staff are welcoming and invested in opening opportunities even after university.
I like my course. Wish we had more.information on clubs and societies beforehand. Overall decnet uni
Had a great time at QUB and the facility was great as well
I am a total queens student yes man
staff are helpful generally for my course, sports n societies good enough but not great for socials, not many sports clubs have tours etc, currently no SU building but hopefully will be next year
Courses are good, and campus nice. However seems to be quite disorganised
So far I have enjoyed my studies as QUB. I have really enjoyed having most of my classes in person this semester, it's been great interacting with lecturer's and other students to the best that we can due to covid. The facilities are great and there is great help when needed.
Great university to study at. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Su is also great craic. Student advice service is also helpful.
Queens is a really nice university with great facilities and great lecturers
Queen’s has been great to study at so far, with good facilities and societies.
Yeah good university course is hard work but placement is treating me well so far
Lots of support given. Very good uni
Great campus. I’m just filling in this field for no reason.
I am so happy for you and your family will love you so much thank you for your help and weww thank you for your
QUB is a fantastic university with fantastic facilities.
My experience so far has been great. The staffs both non-academics and academics staffs are so helpful, always ready to help and really approachable. I would say the same for fellow students. I have gotten lost in the campus building so many times because it is so big and each time that happened I met someone who pointed me to the right direction. In general, you just fall in love and feel welcomed for an international student
Lovely campus, attentive and active professors and amazing facilities through McClay Library, Junction Café, study spaces, etc.
Good Experience and campus was well Good
For a Russel Group university I expected the standard of education, resources and student support to be a lot higher. I studied my Masters here and found that compared to the University of Salford where I studied my BA that Queens where more concerned about profit than the students. I don't understand how Queens has the reputation it has, for all the money I spent Queens supplied us with B grade facilities. The teaching felt as if the staff were not interested in the students and their concerns, not all but most, the same can be said for the University as a whole. As a dyslexic student I found my faculty and the students union to be very unaccommodating. During my time here I meet people from other courses and schools and was shocked that they were experiencing the same issues as myself and many of my course mates. Overall, my learning experiences was dull and ill-effective, making me long for when it would be over and done with and leaving me feeling uninspired and out of pocket.
nothing special to be honest. most buildings are old and it's not worth the 17K a year (international student)
Good college to study in along with it being easily accessible with a good city location.
The university faculty is really great and helpful.I am having an amazing time here.
QUB is a Russell Group uni, but only barely. In terms of facilities and international reputation, it does brilliantly. I did find however, that opportunities for placements were rather lacking for courses that weren't STEM or Law, the arts and social sciences did not have much opportunity and I had to go out of my way for a placement. They're changing this by having placement opportunities linked with modules, but I'm still annoyed I missed out. I did like my professors, but I found a lot of them should not be in the profession, one in particular I had every year did not have a clue how to teach and would make us do pointless exercises to fill up the time. In terms of student experience, QUB is very much tailored to international students, or those from other parts of the UK, if you're from NI or are not living in student accommodation you can miss out. A lot of my friends from NI who went to QUB agree with me on this. Ultimatetly though, it was an okay experience.
QUB is in Belfast as you might guess. Old world class research university. Founded in 1845, has roots from 1810 and hosts several world known alumni. Tutors and professors are very nice and genuinely helpful. Their educational ability is definitely wonderful!
It's not quite what I expected but still good!
The staff here will do absolutely anything to help you, whether that's with mental and physical health issues, degree worries or social concerns. The societies are also absolutely amazing and so cheap that it's never a financial worry to be able to do something you love. There are many career opportunities offered, whether it be a company coming in for an open talk, a careers fair or a university funded trip to companies. It is also a beautiful place to study and everyone here is so friendly. I've had such a great experience that I've moved to Belfast permanently and so has my family.
Best thing I ever did was choose to stay at home for Uni
Good university with lots of student societies
Good so far and WiFi throughout campus without the need to reconnect, close to city centre, easy to navigate
Although they offer a lot of career advice for STEM subjects. There is nothing for people in the arts. As an English student I have not had nor a single career fair which caters for the arts. I walked into one which was apparently for all students, and the woman asked why I was coming in if I was studying English. Told me there was nothing suitable.
Great experience pursuing my Masters in Queens
QUB has a wide range of activists and careers fairs to help freshers and graduating students.
Can't connect to the wifi with Linux, but great facilities.
WiFi is surreal. The campus is beautiful and has great facilities...lovely mix of old and modern.
Lovely campus and great tutoring
Pretty underrated uni, excellent facilities, cheap to live around and very safe.
Gorgeous buildings, some staff are great but then you have the few that are only there for the pay check. Student union bar does a good burger and chip. Not many social spaces but they’re improving!
The staffs of the university is passionate and helpful
Queens is a Russell group University and expects you to be an adult and more independent in your studies than other universities often that spoon feed you. If this is what you need Queens is not for you. In saying that they provide all the information and sign posts to finding information very clearly in lectures, through online resources and through the support services which I found professional. I found my course stimulating and gave good scope and dept. I worked with researchers that also lecture and they are all very friendly. I've been to other Universities in England and in comparison Queens is very professional and treats you as a high level learner expecting you to do the work and read the resources to help yourself if needed. The campus is beautiful and historic with many new modern buildings as well and brilliant architecture features. The library is one of the best Uni libraries I've used. You get out what you put in. I loved it.
Stuck in the past, don't want to help and don't seem to care. The masters course I did was a year and two weeks so getting accommodation was a nightmare. It was a disappointing experience surrounded by teaching staff that did nothing but belittle the students and ignore us.
Open-mindedness, inclusiveness and excellence is at the heart of what QUB has offered me. Here I have made some of the best friends and memory's I shall retain throughout my life. I believe with Queen's I am getting the best starting line towards my professional career.
We really nice school and has excellent facilities
Excellent quality and expertise
Mental health help is awful they would rather fail you than help you. Do not go here. They will not help you they just want the people that will get firsts they don’t want people that need a little bit of help to get to the place they want too. Everyone is capable of getting a first they just don’t help those who need the help they would rather people that need nothing and that’s not what education is about, it’s about empowering everyone.
Staff are zero help. You wait weeks on a response from your lecturers then they have the cheek to tell you that your project is a "poor attempt"
Brilliant support for students with disabilities
Overall, I had a great time, met amazing people, and received a brilliant education. I have loads of career options and queens provides students with an abundance of opportunities for personal and professional development. However, the adjustment period was difficult and there isn't a strong sense of a university community because northern Ireland is very tight knit and many students go home on the weekends. As a non-local student this was difficult , and it definitely creates a divide between students from NI and those who are from GB/ the EU/ international.
