• The university also gives you medical services and membership, or even a general practitioner assigned to you throughout your course, you can avail yourself of the services by visiting the hospital with your student ID.

• My course fees kept going up each year.
• Initially it was somewhere around 15,000-16,000 GBP after some application scholarships.
• It went up to 18k GBP till my final year.
• Accommodation prices also went up each year.
• My first-year accommodation was 124 GBP per week.
• In the second year it was free for me, as I was a residential assistant, in which your rent is free for the role you take.
• In my third year, I went to a private student accommodation that was 195 GBP per week.
• The rent in student accommodations is usually per week and leases are per month.
• The rent in student accommodations gets collected either all at once or per semester, depending on which accommodation you stay in.
• However, in the first year, they collected rent in 4 quarters in the entire year.
• The buses are pretty cheap. 1-2 GBP for a one-way ticket to a not-so-far-off location.
• The day pass, which gives you unlimited rides for a day, costs 3.5 GBP

• Eating out would cost at least 10 GBP for one meal if you include a drink.
• Monthly expenses would be around 200-300 per month, which is controlled yet relaxed and uncompromised spending.

• I applied to 6 Universities: Queen's University Belfast, University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, Newcastle University, University of Leeds and University of Aberdeen. I was Admitted to all the 6 Universities. I received offer letters (admission confirmation) from all the 6 Universities and then I chose Queen's University Belfast. No, my application was successful in each of the 6 colleges that I applied to.
• I chose Queen's University Belfast solely because of it's reaserach excellence. Although all the other colleges also had a significant research output and were a part of Russell's group, I wanted to specifically work on Cancer Biology and Therapeutics. Luckily, I was selected for the same and carried out reasearch related to cancer during my thesis. I wanted to understand the molecular mechanisms of tumor microenvironment and it's therapeutics and Queen's throughly focused on immune responses and gene regulation which matched my research interests.
• The admission process is as follows:
  Entry Requirements:
  1. A 2:1 degree is required in a relevant field. For my course, this would be a background in Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Microbiology or any other relevant field (I did Biotechnology engineering).
  2. English language proficiency is also required for international students (IELTS/TOEFL). Specific details about scores can be found on the website.
• Application Process:
  Online Application: Applications are submitted directly through the QUB online application portal. The process is fairly straightforward and can be done on your own.
  Necessary documents: 1. Academic transcripts
  2. Degree certificate or Provisional Degree certificate (if degree certificate is not available yet).
  3. CV
  4. References (usually two academic or professional references)
  5. Personal statement or Letter of Motivation (I feel this is the most important document for selection).
  6. English language proficiency proof
• Visa Requirements: International students who are accepted to Queen’s will need a Tier 4 or Student Visa to study in the UK.

• If the application is successful, then the University will provide a Conditional offer letter, stating some requirements that you have to meet if you are still completing your Bachelor's or an Unconditional offer letter you meet all the requirements.

• The eligibility criteria depends on the course. For Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, it was 2:1 grade in any Biology related discipline along with an IELTS score greater than 6.0. I recommend going through the details of the specific course in order to find out the correct eligibility criteria, as it differes from course to course.

• The overall admission process was faily smooth. There were college representatives who would guide us with the admission process. Also, the admission team is quite helpful, they will respond to any queries within a day making the application process fast and smooth. The only challenge I faced was regarding the uncondional offer letter: Due to a huge number of applicants in September, there was a slight delay in providing me the uncondional offer letter due to which I faced minor problems with the visa application. Other than that, everything is good! I wish you all the best and good luck with your application!

• I applied for September 2022/ fall 2022 intake. I started applying from December 2021 and received a Condional offer letter in January 2022 as I was still completing my bachelor's. The conditions stated that I have to complete my Bachelor's without failing in any subject and have to obtain the expected grade which I stated in my application form. Received an Uncondional offer letter in August 2022 when I submitted my 8th Semester marsheet and provisional degree certificate.
