The University has also been honoured by Northern Ireland’s first Regius Professorship, awarded by Her Majesty The Queen for excellence in electronics and computer engineering. Queen’s is ranked 22nd in the world for international outlook (Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020) and ranked ninth in the world for research collaboration, Queen’s is globally connected and networked with strategic partnerships across the world.
