About Queen's Business School

Queen’s Business School is one of the UK’s top business schools, offering world-class education to students from all over the world. As a member of the Russell Group, Queen’s is recognized as one of the United Kingdom’s 24 leading research-intensive universities. We boast a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs, including an attractive MBA (with internship) programme.

The prevalence of venture capitalists, business angels and private investors mean that young, high potential companies are booming in the city. There are almost 900 international companies located in Northern Ireland, making Belfast the second most successful city in the UK (after London) for attracting US trade.

The Titanic Quarter has become an economic and technological powerhouse, hosting global companies such as Citi, Microsoft, IBM and HBO. Catalyst Inc, formerly the NI Science Park, houses 200 companies which are spearheading tech innovation. It is also the home of Queen’s globally-renowned Centre for Secure Information Technologies which has helped create 1,100 new jobs in cyber security in Belfast over the past three years.

Low cost of living

Northern Ireland has the lowest student cost of living in the UK. In fact, it’s over £5,000 per year cheaper for students to live in Northern Ireland compared to London (Which? University, 2018). At an average of £90 per week, Belfast was found to have the cheapest weekly rent compared to anywhere else in the UK in 2018 (Marbles.com).
