Services & Facilities
Student Services is a professional support department working to ensure students have the information, advice, guidance and opportunities necessary to their successful experience and achievement whilst studying at QMU. We work with students to address issues and overcome obstacles that might stand in the way of their progress. Staff in Student Services acknowledge the diversity of students' backgrounds and experiences and have established a range of support services designed to meet students' needs and requirements. We have a team of specialists in the areas of careers and student employment, disability advice, counselling, srudent funding advice, transition and pre-entry guidance and a medical service linked to the Riverside Medical Practice in Musselburgh.
Our services are confidential and free. If we cannot offer the support you need, we can give information about other sources of help.
We liaise with other areas of support within the university such as the Effective Learning Service, Academic Departments, Disabled Studend Co-ordinators (DSCs), the Students' Union, Admissions and International Office in order to collaborate on ways to improve the student experience.
The Student Accommodation Service provides a friendly and caring environment. We provide a range of residential accommodation at competitive prices which foster a suitable environment within which to study.
Behind all of QMU's postgraduate courses is a strong philosophy of enhancing quality of life and serving communities. Today, graduates of QMU have used their skills and knowledge to make improvements to the lives of many different people - whether that be through the development of better business practice for improved customer service, breakthroughs in healthcare, the development of creative arts and culture for people's enjoyment, helping communities to fight for environmental justice or working with people in third work countries to rebuild their communities after years of destruction. The list is endless. Whatever you choose to do with your postgraduate qualification, there is little doubt that the skills and knowledge you develop while at QMU will help you to achieve success in your own right while at the same time have a positive impact on society.
Student Life
The Students' Union is run independently by students for students, providing a focal point for the representative, welfare, sporting, cultural and recreational needs of QMU students.
The Students' Union is the main base for QMU's elected student representative, two of whom (the President and Vice President) are full-time officers taking time out of their studies to ensure students are represented at all levels throughout QMU.
The Students' Union contains bar and catering facilities, as well as The Advice Centre, which offers confidential, impartial advice on all matters affecting students, from housing to health and all points in between.
