Sort:Latest reviewsGreat uni with lots of events. I enjoy studying Business Management in here, I think it is a great program. Especially I enjoy lectures as out tutors are really fantastic, never boring.. Sometimes studies gets too intense and sometimes things get planned badly, however, I enjoy being here as a student and I am glad that I chose QMU
The university is flawless. It has committed and professional staff, a large support network for struggling/dyslexic/disabled students and a good Library that satisfies my research needs.
I like how small the university is, you feel like the lecturers know you and genuinely want to see you do well. There are a lot of staff in place to give you support. You are always given detailed feedback on assignments.
Fantastic, friendly university. The facilities are modern and the campus itself is very up to date. Lecturers always make classes very interesting and engaging.
Amazing quality teaching for my course (BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy). Really prepares you well for working professionally after university. It is a small campus, so it does not feel overwhelming at any point! The student support/ student union are really helpful and do all they can to help us get the most of uni and enjoy ourselves! The accommodation is well-maintained and modern. The campus is only a 5-min train journey/ 30min bus ride from Edinburgh, which has plenty of interesting things to see and do!
A good experience of a small university. Not a lot going on socially, a small union which suffers from students preferring to drink in the city centre. Many healthcare courses. Good support from student services and academic staff. You do not spend much of the week in classes at this university, this could be good or bad for you.
Friendly, welcoming, caring for both students and the planet. All staff - from the Principal to the lady on the till in the shop make you feel like an individual worth listening to.
Smaller university, very attentive teaching staff Feedback and email replies is invaluable Modern facilities, beautiful campus Career orientated On site modern accommodation with own bathroom
It is a very good University. The students' accomodation is located in the campus which is a bonus. The lecturers deliver high quality lectures with presentations and slides. As far as the sports facilities, Queen margaret has also football and basketball courts and a fully equipped gym.
Good opportunity to extend your current knowledge and pursue a degree. Good resources to analyse data and conduct valuable research. Professors are always helpful and willing to give in more information to make sure you understand and have covered the syllabus.
I would highly recommend QMU as a university. I love my course and the facilities that are available here. Although the location is slightly remote so I would recommend living in Edinburgh as opposed to halls. The town is something you don't wanna miss!
We have a lot of things to do in the end of each semester but overall the courses and the university are very good. And the city is a bit far away but its okay
The courses are simple enough and we don’t have to study a lot like student for other universities have to do. City is amazing with thousends of students. The accomodation is expensive but very cozy and clean.
Liking my course-wish there was a bigger union with more scoieties- or a union in the centre of town as well- like Napier has at three sisters?More balls and uni events-like big end of year big top balls.
A lot to be desired in terms of the union and the clubs and societies. Course is amazing . I like meeting with new people. Very good to have small classes. Very bike friendly and everything is accessible with the bike.
It is a nice, small uni with a friendly athmosphere,m although can be expensive to travel from town to uni. It is good for health courses as there is so many you can learn about relevant courses.
Enjoy my course and the small class size is a nice atmosphere. Sports and societies are on the up and a great way to meet new people. If you are applying for a health course try and do more work experience and volounteer work and put those on your UCAS form.
The uni course is interesting and interactive, people are friendly and helpful.Keep calm and study hard!

QMU is a small but friendly university, it may not be the best of the best but it definitely has everything you could need as a student, and the library is pretty great.
Edinburgh as a city is fantastic and I would recommend it to any one, QMU however is just outside Edinburgh restricting late nights, but it is doable with a little planning!
From my personal view our student union has a relatively small selection of Societies especially once you remove the sport societies from the equation. That said, it does appear to be growing in number each year!
The QMU accommodation was fine as far as halls go, the relatively new buildings make it a little claustrophobic but if you find a comfortable group of friends it makes the whole experience much more enjoyable.
