First gen student
I like thats its a small uni, i dont have to worry about being overwhelmed and getting lost
This uni seems to operate with very little oversight of staff and their work. The level of communication is poor and expectations on students is unrealistic. Lecturers have stated that "students shouldnt have a job, they should be focusing on their studies" and activities and work was set on weekends but students were not permitted to contact staff over weekends for clarification. Very little regard for work life balance and if you have an issue, expect you to have to fix it with little staff support. As already mentioned disability support for me was non existent and frankly embarrassing that a uni operated in the way it did and how it expected students to fix issues the university created.
Dipped recently but it's an amazing social experience
Awful. Have not recommended QMU to anyone and will continue to do so unless there are ever going to be changes anytime soon. I regret choosing QMU since day one, I have more and more negatives with no positives to bring back to my mother with every conversation we have about QMU. I would say it was a factor to my previous poor mental health because of my anger at how poor the university is in comparison to any I have ever seen. Graduation will be a celebration of leaving qmu rather than achieving my degree.
Disorganised , a lot to work on but it's okay.
1st and 2nd year excellent, 3rd year so far has been a let down. i think due to different tutors
Uni has been the best two years of my life so far it's the most fun you'll ever have and I'm so happy to have come to Edinburgh and QMU!! If your considering it definately give it a chance
It's okay. I'm stressed, I'm scared all the time, I'm pretty sure the pressure is going to kill me, but I've met lovely people my classes are sometimes interesting and I'm sure I'll come out the end of it somehow
QMU is a good university. Reasonc ity life is not good because it is so far out the city of Edinburgh! :(

I find the knowledge and passion that my lecturers and teachers have for their subjects to be really inspiring and very much enjoy the way the course is taught. As a mature student and as a male (both minority groups in my course) I havent had much of a social aspect to my uni experience so far. That would be the only negative
Really enjoy the classes. The online lectures are brilliant as they fit in with my work really well (i work pretty much full time as well to pay the bills!) Sometimes we go on campus for single 1 hours classes in a day which can be a pain with the travel, parking expenses, etc
