Queen’s University Belfast Information
Accommodation:
The University is responsible for finding accommodation for university students and graduate. Elms Village is the place to stay on campus, and is configured as a small town with shops, pubs and all sorts of services that students may need. It is located on Malone Road, south of campus. In Belfast South there are other places to stay as the College Gardens and Mount Charles.
Foreign students have a specific residence, International House (Grant House). A place where students live all over the world, blending cultures and customs in a university setting. Choose to stay in a dorm on campus is the best choice to make friends and integrate into the college environment. The residences typically consist of rooms (single and shared) and common kitchens where each student make their own food.
To request housing in the residence, once the student receives acceptance of the proposed study at the University will be sent a manual about the steps you need to do to stay in the center. The documents refer to the letter of admission is a housing application form. Shortly after the university will contact the university to tell where you will stay.
Cost of Living:
Living and studying outside of your country is a complex change that requires proper planning of academic and economic issue so that everything goes well. In the economic area it is best to budget fixed monthly expenses and income that have to avoid problems. The British Council recognizes that Northern Ireland has one of the cheaper cost of living in the UK. It is estimated that spending must be between £ 5500 and £ 7000, although obviously this depends on the type of standard of living that takes.
The rent in a college dorm spending will amount to approximately EUR 290 pounds in Elms Village (standard room with internet). The price of the room depends on the type of services offered and how long you rent the room (at the time cheaper). Other expenses for meals, transportation … depend on personal factors. Belfast is a small town walkable smoothly and to go to class, if we are staying on campus, do not take any bus. With regard to food must be taken into account if they eat at home or away, the first is cheaper no doubt but you have time.
The British agency Council for International Student Affairs (UKCISA) annually publishes a document which provides detailed information on the general cost of living in the UK, specially designed for international students. You can also consult the study guide in the UK of EducationUK.
