提供要前往英國留學同學一個不錯的選擇           

如果你是到英國本島其他大學讀一年碩士課程的同學，想要提早到英國上語言課，然而，想要兼顧到能夠提昇語文能力、又能達到旅遊的目的以及花費低廉等方面. 本校 將是不錯的選擇，一般來說碩士課程非常緊湊，要修課又要寫論文，因此必須要善加規劃才能過一個既拿到學位又能旅遊英國各地的充實留學生活。本校位於北愛爾蘭首府Belfast，學費及生活費為全英最低的地區之一，而本校暑期的語言課程周一至周五下午有時會安排參訪的活動，在週末則安排遊覽北愛當地的觀光景點(如:Giant Causeway)等活動.如此,在上課期間,既可提昇語文能力又可遍遊北愛爾蘭與愛爾蘭的觀光景點.

如果你的研究所課程是要在英格蘭本島上課,那你可以考慮等八月底再回到英格蘭的學校上Pre-Sessional English Course.之後於正式上碩士課程期間再遍遊英格蘭的觀光景點，這樣你就有一個既拿到學位又可遍遊愛爾蘭、北愛爾蘭、蘇格蘭與英格蘭充實又多采多姿的留英生活。

女皇大學校內有附設的語言中心,在中心內不但提供了完整語言進修課程,並且為北愛爾蘭的IELTS、 Cambridge PET、 FCE、CAE and CRE唯一的考場.

女皇大學的語言課不但學費便宜,其住宿費及生活費也是相較於其他大學來得低廉.語言中心的教師對每位學生都是非常有善,並且有耐心.對於有經濟方面考慮的學生來說是一個不錯的選擇.

大學附設的語言中心與一般語言學校的差別:
優點:學生可以運用大學內的現有資源,例如:圖書館及電腦設備(含Internet-免費)、多媒體語言中心、健身中心(溫水游泳池,羽球,桌球,網球,壁球,健身設備等),欲申請研究所者開學後可於各系上旁聽等.

本語言中心為IELTS在Belfast的考試中心,所以設有輔導專為考IELTS準備的密集班,上完後直接在Queen's的語言中心考場考試. 其中在口試部份的監考官,就是平時在語言中心上課的教師,這對學生來說可以說削減了一些緊張的心理壓力,口試時自然就比較順暢.
