Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) Applicants 2018

I've been hearing people saying the International Politics and Conflict Studies course isn't running? Could anyone confirm?

I have applied to Construction and Project Management with Industrial Internship (Master of Science)
I have received offer and accepted it.
As the program consist with Industrial Internship of one year I have some quires regarding it.
It is stated on website that ‘The University does not organise or provide Industrial Internships. It is the student's responsibility to arrange their own Industrial Internship’ so can you please give some information that which companies come for Career Fair/ Job Fair.
And data of past students who got internship. (How many % students got internship and average stipend/salary offered?)
Do University helps in finding internship?
Thank You

I've sent off my UCAS a few weeks ago and I'm applying for Architecture. How long does it usually take to receive an offer? I know some uni's wait until January before giving any offers? Also for someone who hasn't been able to visit the campus in person (I live in England) is the campus close to the city?

I would like to apply for chemical engineering,I am first for undergraduate,applying from Northern irland in Belfast.what documents proof need to entry in Queens university just for international students?

Hi nmeechan,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I have double checked with the School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy, and Politics who run the course and they have confirmed that it is definitely still running next year.

Are you thinking of applying for it?

just received an offer!

Received an offer for mechanical engineering a few weeks back

Are there any FB groups for offer holders or is it too early?

Hi, I'm from England and i just applied to do law next year. i was wondering if there are many English students at Queen's because it seems a bit daunting to be going to uni in a different country! I'm doing an extended level 3 diploma in business specialising in law and accounts, do you give equal consideration for a level and BTEC? last year i got 9 distinctions and am on track to get 8 distinctions and 1 merit at the end of this year. What are the chances of me receiving an offer?

Hey Kachela,

I'm a mature applicant (23) who's applying to study Mental Health Nursing. I didn't attend the open day in September 2017 as I hadn't originally planned to apply for the 2018 cycle....but as a ROI student I got worried that Brexit would affect the funding available in 2019 so just decided to take the plunge!

I'm going to come to a campus tour, but from what I've read it seems that this would only cover the general facilities and not nursing-specific facilities. Would it be at all possible to view the nursing facilities (in particular the Simulation Suite) provided it was pre-arranged with members of staff from the programme? If so, would you happen to know the best person to contact about this?

Thanks!

Just curious, are there any easy-access routes from the university to the Republic? Have got family in Wicklow it would be nice to go see, especially since I hear QUB is a bit of a ghost town at weekends if you're not Northern Irish.

Slightly similar note; do you know if the History department has started giving out offers yet? I know Belfast prefers to take its time, it's just the last one I'm waiting to hear back from. Impatience, I know

Hi CastCuraga

Firstly, with reference to offers, it is totally understandable that you are keen to hear back. Our admissions team will be making offers right up until May time, but hopefully you will hear something very soon.

And in answer to the other part of your post, yes, it is very easy to travel. There is a regular train service between Belfast and Dublin. This service brings you directly to Connolly Station where you can then take a connecting train to Wicklow.

Also, campus itself itself is getting busier at weekends. This year, there are 1,200 GB students attending the university with 320 currently living in Elms Village (the main student accommodation). The students there run a Weekend Club which gives them an opportunity to meet up, go on trips and take part in regular events etc.

I hope this information is useful, but if you need anything else please just let us know!
