Your
Students’ Union
The Students’ Union
(SU) at QMU has lots
to offer. Getting
involved with the SU
can really enhance
both your academic
and social experience
as a student and help
you in your future
career.
Student voice Activities
The SU is run independently of the
University and is run by students for
students. Students elect a team of
officers every year to work on their behalf
on improving the overall student
experience at QMU. The officer team
represent all students at QMU and
always want to hear from students about
what’s working and what isn’t. The SU offers a range of sports teams
and societies for all students to get
involved with. There are competitive and
recreational sports teams and clubs,
interest-based societies and academic
societies. An up-to-date list can be found
on the SU website and if we don’t have
what you’re interested in we can help
you to set something up. Check out
pages 39-40 for more information.
The SU works with the University to run
the Class Rep programme. Each class
should have at least one Class Rep to
represent the students’ views, liaise with
academic staff etc. The SU provides
support and training for Class Reps and
also runs the Academic Council which is
a forum where Class Reps come
together.
Help Zone
The Help Zone provides support for
QMU students, particularly with
academic issues. All advice and support
is free, confidential and impartial. The
team at the SU has a lot of experience in
student support and also has good
relationships with support staff in the
University.
Maggie’s Bar & Café
Maggie’s offers a comfortable space with
student-friendly menus and prices. You
can socialise, study, relax or host an
event. It’s the main student social space
on campus and we love to see as many
students as possible enjoying the space.
