Queen's University Belfast

Queen's University Belfast, formally the Queen's University of Belfast and often shortened to Queen's or QUB, is a public research university in Belfast, Northern Ireland. It received its charter in 1845 as part of the Queen's University of Ireland and opened four years later, together with Queen's College, Galway and Queen's College, Cork, which are now the University of Galway and University College Cork. Queen's offers about 300 degree programmes at several levels and belongs to the Russell Group of research-intensive universities, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the European University Association, Universities UK and Universities Ireland. The university is associated with two Nobel laureates and one Turing Award laureate, which is why it appears in this atlas as a place where computing pioneers studied or worked.
