Queen's University Belfast International Summer School
Belfast, Northern Ireland
Summer 2024: June 17 - July 5
Program Description
This is a three-week long program at the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) International Summer School of Queen’s University Belfast. Students will get to design their own summer school experience by choosing from a range of unique courses that can be found below. Students will do excursions around Belfast and a day trip to Derry, Northern Ireland's 2nd largest city.
The John Jay College-Queen’s University Belfast program will be held in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Belfast is Northern Ireland’s capital, and is known for its political unrest (from the late 1960s to the late 1990s), “the Troubles”. This unrest in Northern Ireland has since calmed, but due to the city’s history, this location is ideal.
Students from all majors are encouraged to apply.
