TACKLING SHARED GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Queen’s University Belfast has developed diverse strategic partnerships with leading universities in the USA and Canada, demonstrating its commitment to advancing global research, education, and engagement. Collaborations with institutions such as Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, and the University of California at Berkeley and Santa Cruz highlight Queen’s role in tackling shared global challenges, including healthcare innovation and sustainable development.
RESEARCH AND STUDY PARTNERSHIPS
Partnerships with institutions such as UMass Lowell promote research in education, gender equality, and student exchange programmes, while collaborations with George Washington University enhance study exchange opportunities in history, anthropology, philosophy, and politics.
The N.U.in Programme is a study abroad initiative facilitated by Northeastern University, allowing first-year students to spend their initial semester in Belfast before transitioning to Northeastern's Boston campus. Students enrol in courses that satisfy degree requirements, including a cultural module on Belfast's history and society, while fully engaging with local life and experiences.
LEADING IN INNOVATION AND EDUCATION
In Canada, Queen’s University collaborates with the University of British Colombia and the University of New Brunswick on initiatives like the Fredrik and Catherine Eaton Visitorship Awards scheme, which fosters cross-border academic collaboration.
These partnerships are vital to Queen’s mission, facilitating transformative research, knowledge exchange, and enriching student experiences while strengthening the University’s global reputation as a leader in innovation and education.
