Many of our courses offer the opportunity to take part in overseas exchanges with partner universities in Europe, North America and China. There are opportunities to study or work abroad, supported by schemes such as Erasmus and Study USA. This can significantly enhance the employability of students and the global opportunities open to them.

The School is located across three buidlings, with state-of-the-art teaching and learning facilities, together with dedicated student and staff spaces including large student common rooms. The teaching facilities enable an interactive learning environment.

The first few days and weeks at university can feel very threatening. Often undergraduate students are as concerned about the 'social' aspects of student life as much as the academic aspects. There are also on-going stresses, questions & queries about practical issues.

Our dedicated team provides support and can assist you in finding information, advice and guidance. The team at sseswinternationalstudents@qub.ac.uk is here to help you settle into your new programme and home.
