Queens students have the opportunity to have their junior year or semester abroad at one of several universities in Northern Ireland:

• Queen's University of Belfast
• The University of Ulster  (several campuses)
• Several scientific and technical institutes in the Republic

Queens University of Charlotte students will carry a regular course load and have access to a wide choice of courses from the extensive traditional curriculum offered by these institutions.  A number of Queens University of Charlotte students have enjoyed great success studying at Queen's University of Belfast and at the various campuses of the University of Ulster.
