QU campus
The city campus of QU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Kingston has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. Students have access to the extensive scientific library of the university. The collection of scientific papers helps them in conducting research. QU accepts students for international exchange programs. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in intercultural communication for both international and local students.
