I thoroughly enjoy studying a subject in QMU . I have met some really lovely people and i would advise people to choose a course that are a 100% sure about it and be prepared to work really hard, while studying from the very start is very important.
I enjoy qmu and generally being a part of a University. It is a great way to make friends and you have to make sure that you choose a course that is enjoyable and interesting to you, as you will be more willed to do extra work. The exams also help to study more and the essays are very interesting.
I can honestly say I enjoy the whole experience so far. Just a small piece of advice that I would give: Go hard or Go home. You should join societies, get involved in everything and find new people with similar interest to yours. The friends you meet and enhance your experience.
For my aspirations, my course has so far been interesting and worth while. Film and Media has been very interesting, as we have weekly screenings and seminars on it.
My course is going well so far. I have met loads of new people. To live the real Uni experience i think you should really move to the halls. Especially for the first year.
I am enjoying my university experience, as it made me more independent, and not to only rely on my parents. Small classes gives, a better opportunity to built a better student teacher network.
Choose qmu if you are about to study Business courses cause everything is pretty well organised in this sector. The classes are really small, with small amount of students and this helps you to get more in touch with your teachers.
Make an effort right from the very start. Do not lose contact with your lessons cause otherwise it is going to be very hard to keep up in the end. If you keep up though, the 3rd and 4th year will come easier.
Very good. Qmu is a very easy place to make friends and get help for your course. I enjoy my time and lectures in Qmu as my course is very interesting and useful for my future plans.
Be aware that the uni is slightly out of town so travelling takes long and costs. Good facilities and the library has tons of material that come very handy to the students and plenty of PCs. The university has nice and friendly view. I really like the assessment methods as it makes student life easier.
I am enjoying university a lot more than i thought i would. Coming to university has changed my life in a positive way! My schedule allows me to have free time for myself or a part time job. I would advise everyone to look for a flat before coming to Uni, as the halls are a bit too pricey for students.
Queen Margaret campus is located next to Edinburgh which is a lovely place. Qmu campus is very modern and the student halls which are next to the University campus are very useful. I am very happy with the accommodation as i do have a premium room, although it is a bit over-priced. I am very satisfied with my courses and i am looking forward to the upcoming next years.
The university is well equipped with modern up to date facilities. Lectures are very helpful however some classes could be run better.Overall the atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming although the work load at times can be intense. My advice would be to make sure you are certain about the course you are about to apply to.
I arrived in my university September of 2013. I have lived on the university campus since. I am enjoying the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and also the type of education.
Everything about QMU is amazing- facilities, staff, Student Union. The only thing I dislike is that the prices for the standard rooms are too high.
Queen Margaret University is a very developed university located just outside of Edinburgh, in a a quiet town called Musselburgh. The local buses serves a perfect access to the city center, where is many things to do. Queen Margaret's Newcraighall campus has opened in 2007, with its student residency next to it. Lectures are well organized and the seminars are interesting. The university of full of International people, and this shows a great variety of students all over the campus.


I enjoy my Uni experience so far, as my course is great and i have made many new friends. A piece of advice, if you want to go to is to pick a subject that you love as it will make it more interesting and you will be willing to spend more time studying.
