Queen's library is a gathering space — both physical and virtual. Not only a place where ideas are explored, concepts are learned and theories are unearthed, but where friends are met, relationships are forged, and community is created. The library is the keystone of campus, a place of inspiration, imagination, and initiative. Above all else, the library is people who make a difference — people who help others learn, think, discover, and do. Queen’s Library is the top-ranked university library in its category for total holdings with more than 3 million items, including 90,000 electronic full-text journals and newspapers.

The international community at Queen’s University embraces a broad cross section of international students. You may be here as a postgraduate student or attending Queen’s for a single semester. Perhaps you are a student travelling to Belfast to take up a full-time undergraduate degree course. Whatever your circumstances, welcome to Queen’s. Be assured that the Accommodation team will do everything to meet your accommodation and living requirements during your stay.
