Easy place to navigate in terms of resources, and there are some really amazing lecturers/seminar leaders, but sometimes you do find the odd seminar leader/lecturer that does not make you feel comfortable to reach out for help if you need it.
Amazing facilities, enthusiastic lecturers who are passionate about their field. Campus has a true community feel to it, with students able to enjoy where they are in the nook, library and student bar (maggies)

First gen student
The fact that it is a campus uni means that there is a very strong feeling of community throughout, and because it is relatively small it means that you get to know all of your peers and lecturers on a personal level. The main building itself is very pleasant to be in due to its open plan nature. Maggie's, the on-campus bar and grill, is fantastic for catching up with friends and family, doing group study work, or grabbing a really cheap but delicious meal. Lots of events happen in Maggie's throughout the year, run by the student union and individual sports and societies. The communication between all departments could be improved, as a few times there has been last minute changes to timetables, late assessment feedback etc. but this I think may be partially a result of the ongoing strikes.
My impression of QMU is that it is a uni constantly trying to improve students' experience; by no means are they perfect. However, they constantly seek out ways to factor in the desires of students when delivering their courses. Student Union tries its best to create events. It's relatively small in size, meaning lecturers and students engage very closely.
Due to it being a smaller university, it made me feel involved in a community and I felt more comfortable to come into this with an open mind and it built my confidence up.

Very inclusive university, great range of sports and society. Great campus feel
QMU really feels like a community. The students get to know each other from across the range of degrees, the staff make an effort to get to know the students, and there is always someone to say hi to. The uni has also made clear and good efforts to support students during the cost of living crisis including 'Thank God it's Thrusdays' during which students are encouraged to come together, use the uni's warmth and electricity, and are given a free evening meal to eat as well as a recipe kit and ingredients to keep you going for the next day or two, also for free. They put entertainment on at these nights such as bingo or movies but also make it clear that if you want to chill out on your own after a long day, you are still welcome. In general, the support keeps coming from QMU! They have an Effective Learning Service for all students to access at any time and they can support with every aspect of academia from who to plan an essay, to how to organise your time, to referencing and giving feedback on what you've written. For life outside of academia, they have student support and disability support, both of which are caring and efficient in my experience. I have been to a larger university before to study a previous degree and I very much prefer this experience. I feel welcome, safe and happy at QMU.

I’m a student at the Metropolitan College of Greece, which is from what we are told, the equivalent of QMU in Greece. All the ratings above are based on the campus of Piraeus. Very, very unorganised. Little to no support. Zero guidance on students who do the internship for the first time. None of us feel like QMU students. Even when there’s some meetings with the student representatives and a representative from QMU, nothing true is being told. The QMU representative every year is only trying to focus on what the students of AMC find positive, ignoring the negatives. Students don’t really need to study to get a passing grade, no one really cares to study and everyone passes with a good score. The teachers don’t really care. If someone doesn’t work on a team project we are forced to do the work alone,and they’ll take the exact same grade with everyone else.

It is a small community campus which always has lots of events throughout he year which helps you meet lots of people and means that you always have something to do. It has excellent student support services for your degree through the effective learning service, studiosity and by providing extra support for those who need it. There is also support for other issues that students may face such as the cost of living crisis. So every Thursday they have a warm space in the canteen with a free meal and food packs given out so that people have a hot meal every night for the rest of the week. Accommodation is really well priced for Edinburgh and all accommodation is ensuite. It is only a cheap 6 minute train from Edinburgh however the price of trains soon builds up and the buses are 45 minutes to an hour long and quite unreliable. It also can take quite a while (sometimes 2-3 months) to receive feedback on essays and exams which is far too long especially when you are starting to write semester 2s essays and you dont know how you did in semester 1.
I like TGIT and they were quite accommodating of my adhd and autism
Small classes so you can connect well with lecturers on first name basis however being a small uni means resources are limited
Facilities are ok but bc it’s such a small uni does not have many available
Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The attendance machine doesn't quite work well
Nice and friendly environment
So friendly environment and teachers are so helpful.

Lots of support and many activities for students to do. Great facilities for study.
Great course with good content that’s relevant.
Room is decently sized with a big kitchen. The storage and en-suite are also great.
