"INTO are really professional, and studying with them definitely broadened my view of the world. I plan to help grow the wine industry in Hong Kong and my plan is to expand my business globally."Jia Hairuo, China
Graduate Diploma
"I choose my course for a number of reasons, but particular because of my interest in the environmental which is a major issue in China. During my course I get to take part in fieldtrips to different areas of Northern Ireland to understand about the different environmental issues. I recently went to the Giant’s Causeway to examine the different rock types found on the coast. I really enjoy studying at Queen’s and I have found the staff to be very helpful and supportive to me as an international student. Belfast is better than other large UK cities, like London, as it is quieter and allows me time to focus on my studies. After my BSc course, I hope to study a Master’s course and then I plan to return to China to work the area of environmental science."Yaqi Yang, Shenzhen University JFP, China
