INTO Queen's University Belfast

Happy 4th of July to our colleagues, students and partners from the United States🇺🇸

Meet our former student Hannen Alsaleh from Kuwait ✨

After completing the foundation programme in Architecture at INTO, she progressed to Architecture at Queen’s. 🤩

When we asked Hannen, "What do you think of Belfast as a study destination?" She said...

✨"Compared to other cities in the UK and Ireland, Belfast is much safer and the rent is significantly cheaper, which I assume most students would find beneficial. Although I don’t study in Belfast anymore, I still visit it very often as I have grown to love the city after studying there for so long."✨

Meet our former student Bohan Xie from China ✨

Bohan studied finance at INTO and a master's in Accounting and Finance at Queen's University. Since graduating from Queen's in 2023, Bohan has enjoyed a successful career in the auditing industry at PwC 💼📈🖊

When we asked, "Did you feel supported by the staff at INTO Queen’s?" He said...

✨"I think I've had a lot of help, especially with the Chinese language support staff at INTO, not only in terms of learning but also a lot of life guidance, which is very helpful for students who have just left home and come to a new country."
