Queen’s has recently invested £700m to develop its campus and boasts some of the best facilities of any university in the UK.
We have an outstanding network of support services to look after your health, wellbeing, study needs, financial security and career prospects.
What our students say
“Queen’s have a vast array of clubs and societies ranging from all types of sports and academic clubs which I would highly recommended! Taking the opportunity to join/attend an array of clubs when first moving to uni is a great way to meet new people and to get involved with activities away from studies.”
Katie Gordon (York) Broadcast Production
“Queen’s offers so many services, whether it be financial, social, mental wellbeing, help finding a GP plus so much more. There is almost nothing that someone at Queen’s can’t help you with given the vast departments across the university.”
