About

Welcome to QISS!

Queen’s International Student Society (QISS) is a society that welcomes all students to join. We organise numerous events throughout the year where international students (local students are welcome to join too!) can come together to make new friends, experience different cultures and have fun!

About QISS

Queen’s has over 2000 international students from over 70 different countries. Qulture Shock, an annual cultural extravaganza organised by our society and also the largest student-led cultural showcase in Queen’s, provides these students with an opportunity to share and celebrate the culture of the international student body. Check out the trailer for Qulture Shock 2020 below!

Getting Through Tough Times, Together!

We know it is difficult for you during this current unprecedented situation of COVID-19, that's why we try to provide support to you as much as possible! Check out our past events and how we've helped our freshers and returning students below via our events!

  • Friends Without Borders, a virtual buddy scheme which both new and returning students participated in. Participants were able to meet students from all around the world and make new friends from home through a variety of virtual events. A total of 71 new and returning participated in this buddy scheme.

 

  • QISS’ Grocery Shopping Aid, a free grocery shopping service we offered to students required to self-isolate upon arrival in Belfast according to the COVID-19 travel regulations.
