International Exchange Programme

International Exchange

Stranmillis University College, a university college of Queen's University Belfast, is a recognised leader in educational research, teaching and learning, annually hosting international students for semester and short programmes. Our International Exchange programme is aimed at student teachers, teaching assistants and those involved in community education, sport, health promotion and youth work.
Stranmillis University College continues to be committed to ensuring a strong relationship with our existing and future EU students. Students from our international exchange partner institutions can attend Stranmillis University College as part of a bi-lateral exchange programme and your home institution must have an Inter-Institutional Agreement for student exchange in a relevant subject area with Stranmillis University College. Visit our list of Global Partners to see if we have an agreement with your university. The duration of the exchange is one or two semesters. If you wish to come to Stranmillis University, you will need to be nominated by your home university international office. Explore our International Exchange opportunities here.
