What is a Visiting Student?

The Visiting Student title enables current registered students from another institution to spend a period of time at the University to conduct research as part of their own studies or as a research placement/internship. Candidates must have an assigned mentor within Queen’s and should contact a relevant member of academic staff before submitting their application.

How long can I visit for?
