Associate students:
an alternative way
to get a degree
QMU has worked with a
number of local further
education colleges to
develop an alternative
way to get onto a
degree course. Find out
about our exciting
Associate Student
scheme here.
Not everyone goes straight from school
to university. People take different
pathways into education depending on
their circumstances. Our Associate
Student scheme offers a different route to
securing a place on a degree course at
QMU.
Associate students are fully enrolled as
QMU students from day one, but study
for the first year at a partner college on a
relevant Higher National (HN) course. On
successful completion, associate
students will have a guaranteed place at
QMU to complete their degree. A number
of our degrees are available through the
Associate Student scheme and are listed
in the table here.
