MSc in Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics - Batch of 2025

Perfectly designed university for students.
Tips: I love the culture here in Belfast. The people are amazing and friendly, both in Belfast and in other cities in Northern Ireland. I got a PGT scholarship with an early bird offer of 2000+1500 = 3500. After subtracting the scholarship amount, I paid the fee amount. I am very satisfied with the course, the country, and the university.
Likes (Part time work): I spend my day walking from the student accommodation to my university, which takes about 15-20 minutes. I love learning with my classmates, and the campus is amazing. The student union is a great place to hang out, socialize, and work. They have a piano and organize many events, including career fairs, festivals, and treasure hunts. There are also many clubs, including hiking, sports, equestrian, education, spiritual, and water sports clubs.
Dislikes (Internships): The faculty encourages and trains students to work on their part to understand and learn the subject by giving application-based assignments. All the faculty members are just an email away. They give their appointments to students in need and help to understand students' POV as well. The faculty are a mixture from different parts of the world with diversity from Europe, Asian, and the UK.

MSc Marketing - Batch of 2025
4.1
Wonderful city and university of love in with multiple opportunities to take on.
Tips: There is going to be a cultural shift academically as well as in general. Coming from a small town I have seen a lot of cultural socks here in my first month. I received a scholarship of 6000 pounds from QUB. It was based on my SOP. I am very satisfied with all of these factors, the university is amazing, the people are very helpful and generous, and the course is on point with my preference. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, country and university.
Likes (Part time work): Belfast is a comparatively small town but has a lot of part-time role opportunities across all domains. On-campus roles are pretty hard to accomplish as a lot of people apply for them at once. It sometimes gets hard to manage your day with part-time and lectures. It's right down to the minimum wage.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Due to competition from other applicants, it is pretty hard to land a job of your interest. However, if you start early at applying to internships and placement while semesters are running you can get an upper hand on them. LinkedIn is also a very nice tool to make new connections that will help you land a role. All kinds of marketing roles are available starting from approximately. 18000-30000 year.

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.

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.

The curriculum is well defined and the faculty are very helpful.
Tips: One of the key reasons I joined this university is because it's the cheapest Russell Group university, and the cost of living in Belfast is comparatively low compared to other cities. Belfast is a small city, and the university has scholarship programs, but they won't affect you. The course structure is well-defined, and the professors are very helpful, but you will struggle to get marks from them. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Likes (Part time work): You can get part-time work both on and off campus, especially around Christmas. It may be a bit of a struggle at first, but there are plenty of part-time options available, so don't stress about finding a job. If you budget wisely, you can cover most of your expenses and even save some money.
Dislikes (Value for money): As an international student from India, the high tuition and living costs at Queen's University Belfast can be a financial burden. The scholarship you receive won't be enough to offset the cost of living, especially for housing and accommodation.
