Celebrating the next chapter for our graduates! 🎓✨ Meet Ellie McKibbin, a recent BSc Business Management graduate. Ellie chose Queen’s University for its strong academic reputation and the chance to be part of a vibrant, welcoming community. “My time at Queen’s has shaped who I am in so many ways. One of the standout modules for me was Venture Start-Up. Alongside friends from my course, we developed a business idea aimed at tackling violence against women through educational street art in schools. It was a meaningful project that gave me invaluable insight into the entrepreneurial journey from idea generation to implementation.” Ellie was also part of the QUB 2025 InnovateHer cohort, where she developed a business plan and connected with inspiring industry leaders. These experiences helped prepare her for her next exciting step joining SistersIN as Programme Administration Coordinator, supporting schoolgirls across Northern Ireland. Congratulations, Ellie - we’re so proud of all you’ve achieved, and we can’t wait to see what’s next! 💫

🌍🐎 Celebrating a Global First for Queen’s Business School! We’re thrilled to mark a major milestone in our international engagement — the first cohort of Queen's Business School students to attend the Narxoz Summer School Global Immersion Programme in Almaty, Kazakhstan! Over two weeks, five of our students immersed themselves in a rich blend of academic learning and cultural discovery at SEM, Narxoz University. From thought-provoking lectures on sustainable tourism and international conflict resolution to hands-on workshops using the Lego® Serious Play® method, the programme offered a truly global classroom experience. Beyond the lecture halls, students explored the vibrant city of Almaty, witnessed traditional Kazakh horseback battle re-enactments, and ventured into the breath taking landscapes of Charyn Canyon and Kaindy Lake. Even when faced with unexpected challenges, our students demonstrated resilience, curiosity, and compassion — returning home with new friendships, global perspectives, and memories to last a lifetime. This programme is more than a summer school — it’s a testament to the growing partnership between Queen’s Business School and Narxoz University, including our joint double degree programmes and shared commitment to global learning. Together, we are building bridges across borders and shaping the next generation of international leaders. A heartfelt thank-you to our colleagues at SEM, Narxoz University for their warm hospitality and to everyone who made this experience possible. Here's to many more successful collaborations! Thanks to Alethea Bleyberg AMAHEP, International Student Advisor, QBS, for providing the content and pictures.  #NarxozUniversity #QueensUniversityBelfast #QBS #SummerSchool #GlobalLearning #StudentMobility #StudyAbroad #Kazakhstan #InternationalEducation #PartnershipsInAction
