Supportive, diverse, and rewarding experience at Queen’s University Belfast.

Tips: Before joining Queen's University Belfast, students should know that the university offers a supportive and diverse environment with a strong emphasis on academic excellence and extracurricular activities. Transitioning here was smooth, though I did experience a cultural shift. The friendliness and warmth of the people in Belfast made it easy to adapt to the new surroundings. The university also provides various resources to help international students settle in, from orientation programs to dedicated support services. I did not avail of any scholarships, but I know that Queen's offers a range of scholarships for international students, which can be applied for based on academic merit or specific criteria. I am highly satisfied with my university, the M.Sc. Finance course, and living in Belfast. The city is welcoming, and the academic environment at Queen's is both challenging and rewarding, offering numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth.

Likes (Student Life): I rated my student life at Queen's University Belfast a 5 because it offers a vibrant and enriching experience. Living in Queen's University accommodation has allowed me to be fully immersed in the university community. My day typically starts with lectures and group study sessions, followed by spending time with friends in the student union or exploring the beautiful campus. What I enjoy most about my college life is the diversity of activities available. The campus is always buzzing with events, from academic workshops and guest lectures to cultural festivals and sports competitions. I regularly participate in these events, as they offer a great way to learn, socialize, and relax. Queen's also has a wide range of student clubs and societies that cater to various interests, including finance, sustainability, arts, and sports. I'm actively involved in the Sustainable Finance Society, where we discuss and promote sustainable practices within the finance industry. This has not only allowed me to pursue my passion but also to connect with like-minded individuals. Overall, the supportive and dynamic environment at Queen's University Belfast makes my student life truly fulfilling.

A value for money university but the journey will be challenging.

Tips: Try to get to know about the weather. About the nearby places of university. Apply for all the scholarships which you are eligible for. Try to connect with your alumni. Acceptance of new changes both good and bad is a good skill to have. Be ready for challenges since life abroad is not what you see on social media.

Likes (Value for money): QUB offers high range of scholarships which makes the course fee more affordable and value for money. Fees compared to other universities in mainland UK, QUB offer very competitive and good fees. Also, payment options are flexible and offer more discounts if you pay in full in advance .

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): A permanent settlement takes 5 years in the UK. To reach that you need to find a sponsorship job which will help you to stay in for longer terms. Also rules by the UK home office change very often so bit uncertain to predict the future. But again not impossible to get a PR.

This place will help you transform to a stronger version.

Tips: After joining the college there will be huge cultural shift and cultural shocks. Develop a mindset to embrace the culture open heartedly. There will be a scholarship depending on your merit and they deduct it from total fees. I am partially satisfied with university, course, and country. Because the course was not entirely taught as promised for non technical students and they expected us to learn by ourselves and complete the course. This was a huge blow to non technical students.

Likes (Part time work): There are plenty of part time jobs on campus and around the campus. It's hard to manage studies and jobs at the same time but increases time management skills. Basic pay for all jobs. You need to manage the time schedules for job and academic works. If you are unable to manage, there are support systems to help you complete academic work from university.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Due to change of rules, there is almost no chance of getting permanent settlement. An international student is given only a last priority. It is absolutely tough to compete with the native here for job hunting. If given a chance, I would definitely opt for permanent settlement.

A course in QUB is a real time challenge and if you are really passionate about the subject.

Tips: I did get a real good experience out of my degree, not only academically but I did grow a lot in the real world understanding the job prospects and real-world skill set. I did get a scholarship based on my undergrad score in India at the time in 2020 but unsure today how the scholarships are awarded. I loved this large university in a small country.

Likes (Safety): Crime rate is the lowest and you feel safe to walk at any place even if it is dark and isolated in a remote area because the response rate for emergency services is really quick. I had an instance where police had to issue a fine to us as we broke a Covid house restriction but that's a pretty small fine though.

Dislikes (Indian Food): We don't find many Indian/Bangladeshi/Pakistani Restaurants in Belfast compared to other cities in the UK or Ireland as Northern Ireland has transportation challenges, I did cook mostly on my own. An average Indian dinner would cost an individual nearly 315-320.

The university offers many opportunities to grow.

Tips: Be ready to take on any opportunities that come. Be sure to study well, as it is not that hard to pass unless you put in the required effort. And also make sure to have fun too as the city has a lot of things to offer. The college also has a lot of programmes that are beneficial to students, so make sure to check them out.

Likes (Value for money): University has nice affiliation and the modules are relevant and well thought. All professors are well educated and helpful. The course also has a lot of assignments that are relevant to the job market and various subject expertise, but scoring in assignments also depends on the professor and his views.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): You have a chance to get PSW after you study for 2 more years. I wouldn't personally immigrate here but it does offer scope if you want to. Everything depends on the job you get, and the Visa sponsorship that your job might offer. It takes 5 years of sponsored visa to get permanent residence.
