Program Overview

Belfast has been growing in popularity as a travel destination in the last few years, developing a vibrant restaurant scene, award-winning architecture, and a new cosmopolitanism. However, most residents still prefer discussing politics over their famous fried breakfasts. The friendliness of the people is what’s most appealing in this small and very walkable city, from smiling servers to talkative bartenders to helpful strangers on the street. Your time in Belfast will allow you to explore this hidden gem to its fullest - and perhaps run into a cast member from Game of Thrones while you’re at it!

Student Life & Housing

Belfast is an extremely easy city to get around, so you will have access to everything while staying in university accommodation, a short walk from campus. Belfast is more affordable than every other major student city in the UK; in fact it's almost 50% cheaper than London.

Adventures abroad

Roseana

Studying abroad was one of the best things I've done for myself. The experience is exhilarating. Belfast, Northern Ireland has the best scenary and culture from Game of Thrones, the Titanic experience to the breath taking sites of giants causeway and carrick a rede rope bridge. We had fun field trips to different musuems, Irish dancing and ate lots of yummy food. You can even explore countries and cities right next door on weekend too. Cant believe I ever hesitated to Study Abroad.
