Sort:Latest reviewsSmall University, which is good because you can get to know your lecturers better,, and have a better connection with them. Study hard, be sure that's the course you want to do.
I would say if you can travel by train, because school is out of the Edinburgh. I study nutrition, which is well though in QMU.
personally i don't like this uni at all because i found everything boring but probably the reason is that i really hate my course and i should have chosen something else. the city is depressing and it is very cold all the time.
everything is just perfect. the only thing i wish to be different would be to enhance the students union which i have to say that is very poor. Although a lot of societies exist. building...state of the art, very modern.
in general the uni is better than i was expected. advice: find friends and you dont need anything else. aa and some studying. the city life is good but am bored of taking the bus or the train and going and then i have to do the same in order to come back. so that is why i prefer staying in the students union.
In QMU the courses are made very understandable because the professors try very hard. the uni facilities lack in some sectors for example that we don't have a pool and some other things like tennis courts. the accommodation is brilliant but it is also very expensive.the uni is located close to the city and only 5 minutes trip with the train.
i am happy to announce that in Queen Margaret University i have not faced, not even assigned by any kind of racism. Student are united, as it is supposed to be in a modern and new university. In general I really enjoy the uni life her in Qmu.
International student rate are extremely high in Queen Margaret compare to other university in Scotland. Very highly equipped. Everything is new and design, but the size of the University is bit too small. Perfect for an Eu student!
The most important thing is to organize your time properly, go to lectures and study. You have all the needed researches in the campus to reach the maximum of your potential. The accommodation is nothing special, but still it has everything that a student would need. Moreover the location of the university allows you to do many things.
The course meets my needs keeping things challenging and interesting. The campus is a little far away but it is a 5 minute trip with the train from the City center. I feel i have reached a goal only by coming here.
It is a good university, it is quite compare to the other big ones. If you prefer to live in the suburbs of Edinburgh, this is the best place to chose. However the public transport is pretty good, and if you want you can take the train to reach the city under 10 minutes from the campus.
I enjoyed very much so far. My advice would be to remember that Uni is not just about fun, but to look forward to a better future and preparing for it. If we study something, we must truly like it. We should try to learn as much as we can.
Queen Margaret university is the best university in Edinburgh. In my opinion it possess the best lecturers and many more university facilities that other universities do not have.
I am really enjoying the uni experience so far. I have learned new skills and developed a new style of learning. Students should be prepared for a lot of independent learning and should manage the time well.
I usually enjoy my time here in QMU, because teachers normally help us if we need some support. There's lots of facilities to help student dealing with studies, LRC, School Office, Student Union, etc.
Being a foreigner, i really appreciate the fact that teachers are always there to help you. Also the classes are small and help the teachers come closer to the students. Advise: Be yourself!
I am very happy with my studies at the university. I would advice people to come to Queen Margaret because its friendly atmosphere, and the range of different courses you can take part in.
The university is located in the suburbs, but it is very close to the city center. The public transportation is really well organized, and by taking a train it only takes 5minutes. Join clubs and societies, be proactive so you will get many new friends.
It would have been better if Queen Margaret is located in the city center, however the public transportation is good. What is interesting about the university as there are a lot of mature students. So if you are mature and thinking of applying, you wont be the old one out.

I believe that the Queen Margaret University has everything a new student would need. Beside the expensive prices on accommodation, the rooms are very spacious and very convenient. The modules are very interesting and give practical knowledge to the students!
