Study at Stranmillis University College

Stranmillis University College is a college of Queen’s University Belfast.  The campus is conveniently located near the city center of Belfast in a conservation area that features plenty of green space. 

Belfast is the largest urban area in Northern Ireland.  The signing of the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 has fueled a decade of incredible economic growth, development in the city center and a substantial rise in the number of tourists who visit the Belfast area.  Today, Belfast is a lively city that is home to tens of thousands of college students, thriving nightlife, and dozens of sports teams and clubs – from football (soccer) and rugby to Gaelic hurling and cricket.
