Queen's University Belfast Admissions 2025: Application Deadline, Eligibility & Fees

• I was awarded a QMS Scholarship of £6,000 (for academic fees), an Early Confirmation Award of £1500 and a £1000 accommodation bursary. For Business School, though, £6,000 is the maximum scholarship in academics. Yes, many did receive either £4000 or £6000. I have no idea how many receive but I believe a good chunk of people do. If you give your application right and have a strong profile, almost certainly you will receive a scholarship.

• I received PhD studentship under EPSRC they cover the tuition fees and living stipend.
• Annual tuition: £25,600 and Stipend of £1608 for a month.
• Eligibility criteria:- The proposed project must fall within the EPSRC remit
• Demonstrate a clear commitment to remaining in academia
• PhD thesis submission must be within six months prior to starting the fellowship
• Hold qualifications or experience equal to an honours degree at a first or upper second class level, or a masters from a UK academic research organisation
• Hold fellowships aimed at later career stages from EPSRC, Royal Society, or Royal Academy of Engineering
• Residency status determines eligibility for full fees and stipend

• I received an International Office Postgraduate Scholarship of £3000 (as of 2022). All international students who are selected and have a 2:1 grade are eligible for this scholarship.
• It was £3000.
• I am not sure about the number of students receiving scholarships but I assume all the students who score a 2:1 grade receive the amount.

• I got the international office scholarship for about 1000 GBP just for my first year. All international students for their first year mostly get this scholarship.
• One of my batchmate got India academic excellence scholarship too.
• There is no specific data for the number of students who get such scholarships open to students but I think the administration can provide such information on request.

• 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.

• Yes, I received an International Office Postgraduate Scholarship of £3000 (as of 2022). All International students who are selected and have a 2:1 grade are eligible for this scholarship.
• I am not sure about the number of students receiving scholarships but I assume all the students who score 2:1 grade receive the amount.
