Sort:Latest reviewsThe lecturers are so helpful and friendly. The location is at peaceful place, no sound of the traffic or anything. I had one issue with a module during the 2nd semester of the 1st year, and the students union was so helpful in resolving that. Overall, it's a great university with good location, friendly and helpful lecturers, supportive students union and structured modules.
Needs more interactivity driven; I'm not really encouraged to socialise with students outside my course.
Really accessible and a great community feel!
Just lovely people and amazing support!xxx
Great support for neurodivergent students. Speech and language department and faculty are fantastic.
Best- Societies Worst- Isn’t one
Lots of support available when it is needed. Central to fort kinnaired, train station at the uni as well, with a 5 min ride to the city centre.
Really welcoming environment; small class sizes allow for lots of student-teacher interaction; small campus allows for homely feel.
The support for students is incredibly good and has been very beneficial. The overall location of the university isn't very convenient and it's quite a trek to get too, but I suppose that just depends on where you live. Living in campus looks to be very convenient and has good facilities and rooms.
Qmu has a supportive learning environment with lecturers who care about our progress
It's a small uni with a great atmosphere and a good community. It's a bit out of the way of Edinburgh but it's close to musselburgh for getting shopping and has good access to public transport.
What I really like about the Uni is the overall environment, lots of greenery and the general location is a nice spot to walk around and is short distance from shops and diners etc. Its relatively small size feels more personable and everyone is nice overall. Only thing is communication with my course’s lecturers is not always consistent and effective which can be frustrating
Best - the face-to-face teaching, but also the good online resources from lectures/tutorials to learn Worst - have found it harder to join societies/groups as a mature student, didn't feel very welcomed
Aside from a few unreliable facilities here and there, the school has done well to provide everything it can to its students academically, mentally and socially. My only real complaint is how minimal and undecorated the interiors are- it definitely reads dreary at times.
The social aspect is great, no negatives.
Queen Margaret provides amazing support services to students. Queen Margaret Library is open 24 hours and has a bright, relaxing atmosphere.
I have nothing else to say.
Need more places for food/drinks.

Best is the amount of places to study, worst is difficult to find societies to join
A lot of face to face content, clinic is fun
