Queen’s University Belfast has a record of academic achievement which stretches back more than 150 years. Queen’s opened in 1849 when the first students entered the new college building designed and built by Charles Lanyon. Since then, the University estate has grown to more than 300 buildings. The first group of students numbered 90; today there are some 24,000.
Queen’s offers an enriching curriculum through a variety of programs which include: Irish Studies, Byzantine Studies, History & Anthropology, Sociology, etc. The Irish Studies program offers a unique opportunity to examine Irish culture, history and politics in the north and south of the island, enabling those who participate to witness the unfolding of history as it happens.
