We would advise that all students check the academic entry requirements (GCSE, A-Levels or equivalent) for each course before applying for their Pathway.  Many courses specify that you must have achieved a specific grade at a specific level in order to be conisidered for a place on the undergraduate programme.  Therefore, it is important that you clarify this information as early as possible in order to avoid disappointment.   

Please click here to be redirected to the Queen's University course finder, where you should find all necessary details - in particular, pre-requisite information.

Students completing this Pathway are eligible to apply for a range of courses under their subject area.  For the full list, have a look at our Pathway Courses Available document for further information.

Over the course of a week, you’ll get to ‘try out’ different subjects, get to know your fellow Pathway students, and experience life as a Queen's student in Belfast.  In the past, our students have studied a range of subjects, looking at the City of Belfast through a variety of mediums, and attending lectures on History, Social Policy, English, Drama, Film and a range of other subjects.  This will give you the chance to experience the subjects within the AHSS Pathway, working with current academics and students to maximise your learning experience.
