It’s the best uni ever, which provides student with free pantry stuffs like speggeti and rice which is convenient for international students. Not only that , it has a beautiful view and the layout of the building is convenient to move around form classes to classes

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.
It's great in general, some of the facilities could use an update through
Love my university, they do everything they can to help their students!
Not what I expected. But glad I ended up where I did. Even if it did near kill me.
The facilities within the David Keir building are rather outdated and it feels like you're trapped in a slightly updated 20th century psych ward. The higher body of staff are apathetic towards mental health and even with a doctors note for exceptional circumstance, a “previously disclosed illness” can’t be used more than once. This is coming from a psychology student. It’s Northern Ireland so you can’t have high expectations considering the general stigmatised consensus towards mental health here. Unless you’re studying medicine or pharmaceuticals, I’d recommend else were
The comp. sci. program at Queen's is about as comprehensive as a dictionary that only covers words beginning with the letter A. The lecturing level leaves a lot to be desired along with the complete lack of any form advice when looking to a careers team about what is out there
My queen's experience has been fantastic! Would recommend to anyone
A poor expirence from my first day. I worked hard to get into the place and was treated like a second class citizen.
Has a great reputation but fails to back it up. No support from lecturers etc, speaking from experience with the Computer Science department.
From my course, there’s no facilities. They are putting us in class rooms for other things or putting us in the basement
I have been enjoying my course so much! Great support and lots is societies to join. The student bar is a bit dead however there are plenty of other places to instead.
I have only completed my first year at Queens and I loved every minute of it
Good facilities, mcclay library is good! Students Union seems to just revolve around drinking and going out which gets boring. Lecture qualities poor and exams unpredictable
Impersonal tuition, hard to contact staff, timetables for exams published far too close to the event
Feels like the place is stuck in a time warp. Too stubborn to change. Poor support. Lack of empathy and understanding towards students.
Excellent in general, but admin and communication to students especially at the start of courses and regarding changes to lectures etc needs to be improved
Everything is great apart from everyone involved in the actual operation of teaching/lecturing/pastoral care/organisation and administration. Students deserve better.
Facilities are amazing. Library is the best. Staff are friendly and supportive.
Much more interested in spending your tuition fees on pointless new buildings (Such as demolishing and replacing the SU which was already very new and did not need changing) than actually providing a service to students. My course fees separate to tuition fees came to over £1000 a year including compulsory trips abroad and essential equipment and software which the university does not provide.
Generally great craic & welcoming atmosphere
Good experience. Friendly Environment. Useful resources for learning and support and a good system for providing equal education and support for all
Amazing library and facilities within my school, staff are so friendly across campus and there’s some great support at the student guidance centre. Regular emails from the career service so there’s plenty of opportunities for placements etc. Having an amazing time at Queen’s so far and would definitely recommend to everyone, especially as a GB student wanting to move further from home and go somewhere a little different! :)
The majority of the lecturers are excellent bar a couple. Was part of the school of HAPP generally very high quality excluding the media modules which just fall of a cliff. The administration is generally poor and disruptive. Waste a lot of time went you need forms signed, disrupt classes with class reviews and make serious clerical errors like saying I had a 2:2 instead of the actual 2:1 I received. Thankfully this was cleared up quickly but sums up the skill of the admin. Overall a great university and the lecturers are always willing to help and provide an excellent course despite the administrations best efforts.
Great University, good people and brilliant facilities. The McClay library and botanic gardens are particularly great.
University wasn't that great of an experience there's no uni feel to it
Wonderful school to do your research with proper support given. The facilities are world class, and open for us to all students.
Campus and Facilities fantastic, university is rubbish!
Brilliant uni! So glad that I decided to study law here- the staff and facilities are world class!
Good quality if teaching and a pleasant enviroment
Best university for social aspects and facilities. CU is fantastic
Best university in the world, well, definitely in the UK.
The course content was not as advertised, facilities are not as advertised, equipment subpar, teaching quality subpar. I could have learnt everything I have done in two years on an online short course. Waste of time and money. Thanks.
Great University and staff. Career’s centre and SGC is great. Unfortunately doesn’t have a proper SU at the moment due to renovations.
Really great uni, it has everything you need and more!
Cool uni 10/10 would recommend
School of Mechanical and Aerospace have racist lecturers and there are some lecturers where the students don’t understand a word of what they are saying
Fantastic university and certainly not the worse.
Poor experience, no connection to the university. Queens only care about money.
QUB is great. Lots to do in a v central city uni where everything is accessible by at most a 20 min walk. Great night life, great food places and great place.
Overall enjoyable first year at university. Facilities are excellent and the choice of clubs and societies is second to none. Well looked after campus and great teaching staff!
The student guidance centre is always helpful, most notably when I needed a CV check. Depending on the school you are enrolled at within the university will decide who checks your CV as part of an appointment based system. This means you CV is checked by someone who knows the field of expertise you wish to pursue. This was helpful when I needed a CV for summer studentships within the university. The Student Union activitys are always very well organised by a student elected committee. They are always well advertised on social media and around the entire campus. This ensures students are well aware of extracurricular events.
I'm an international student and I'm studying law here at Queen's. Probably the best thing about studying law at QuB is learning both England and the NI's legal rules. I can't recommend enough, happy to be here.
has everything you need, any if it doesn't its not hard to set it up
Fantastic uni! Removing two stars on wifi because it does not work with my iphone 6 at all :s
My experience at qub have been very enjoyable. They offer a vast selection of clubs from chess to skydiving!! As for the facilities themselves, they are modern, clean and well looked after.
