Hello, I am currently a direct entry student (went directly into year 2 of a degree after completing a relevant HND).

Recently, for numerous reasons, I've been regretting my choice of going directly into 2nd year (skipping 1st year). This year has not went so well due to personal reasons (including health reasons) and I also feel like I have missed out on some important teaching which would have been done in the first year. I would really like to do it starting from 1st year of the degree.

I was wondering if I can start over from 1st year (of the same degree course). If so, how would I go about this and is there anything important I should know about it?

Also any info in terms of student finance funding.

I'm still waiting for a reply to see if I was successful or not in getting a place on to the course I chose at Queens. Any idea how long it will take until I get a reply? I'm very stressed out at the moment because if I don't get in i'll need to arrange accommodation for my insurance choice as soon as possible.

Hi, I'm only asking since I couldn't find it on the website. In the entrance requirements section say for BSc Chemistry, it says 'Chemistry and a second science subject'. Would that could from the core sciences of Maths, Biology and Physics or would it be an extended list? If it is an extended list what is included in it? Thank you for your time :smile:


Hi cait1239,

There are a range of possible second Science subjects which would be considered including the likes of Computer Science, ICT (not applied), Environmental Technology, Geography, Geology, Technology & Design as well as the more traditional options of Mathematics, Biology and Physics.

Other subjects would be considered on an individual basis and you should contact our Admissions and Access Service for further advice at [email protected]

Best of luck with your application! :goodluck:

Hi! I sent away my UCAS application last week and when I log on to track, it shows the 5 courses I've applied for. However when I click on Medicine at QUB and Medicinal Chemistry and QUB. An error message comes up. Do you have any idea what this means. I've already contacted UCAS and QUB admissions however this is still showing on my Track and I'm beginning to panic understandably as we approach the deadline. Hope you can help. ThanksIMG_4136.PNG
I want to apply for Mental Health Nursing at Queens :smile:

I am a student from England. Can you tell me if you give any preference to Irish applicants or does it really not make a difference? Do the nursing courses require an interview? I saw something about a portfolio, what does that involve?

Thank you very much.

Hope you get everything sorted but if you have any more issues please let us know.

Hi Lizzipth_Floyd :hello:

Thanks for getting in touch!

Firstly all applicants are treated equally regardless of where you hail from! With regard to the course itself, all our nursing courses require an interview as part of the application process but Queen's do not ask for a portfolio as one of their stipulations.

If you need any more questions answered please give us a shout and we'll try to point you in the right direction.

All the best for making your final choices and applications! :goodluck:

My second question is about your international business with German degree, how oversubscribed is it? how many applicants to places do you get?

Good morning Goondance! :wavey:

I've just checked with our Admissions team and the Welsh Baccalaureate is indeed considered for entry! :thumbsup:

Also the International Business with German degree generally has a small number of applicants each year and so is usually not oversubscribed. Are you thinking of applying for the course for 2017?

Hi there John951008,

Thanks for getting in touch!

I'm going to check with our School of Dentistry for an answer for you but can I just make sure I'm asking the right question. Do you mean can a Non-EU student apply for a Dental Foundation Training course in the UK after having completed the Dentistry course at Queen's?

Hello,

I'm looking at Universities to apply for this/next year, and I just wondering if you (QUB) accept Access to Higher Education students from England? Studying in Northern Ireland would be really interesting, and the University itself looks really cool. Thanks in advance.

Hi Blueb3ard! :hello:

Just spoke with our Admissions office and they said they do accept Access to Higher Education for some courses but degrees such as Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy do not. Let me know what courses you're considering and I'll be able to check for you!

Also give me a shout if there's anything I can help you with in regards to living in Belfast/Northern Ireland!
