Why QMU?
The course, in partnership with
Dakota Hotels, has a unique
Student Experience Fund that helps
pay for a range of extra-curricular
student activities across the
four-year course. Enjoy lunch in a
Michelin star restaurant, trips to a
range of visitor attractions and even
taste the produce on a brewery and
distillery tour as part of your studies
at QMU.
Our classes are small compared
with some other universities, so you
will enjoy more personal
engagement with lecturers. We will
know you by name and help
manage your learning from your first
lecture to graduation.
More people visit Edinburgh than
any other UK city after London, and
you will study on a campus that is
six minutes from the centre of town.
It’s the perfect place to learn your
tourism and hospitality
management trade.
90% of our graduates are in
employment or further training after
six months* and many are making
names for themselves in highly
respected hospitality and tourism
businesses, in the UK and across
the world, including DisneyWorld,
Hilton, Thomas Cook, Malmaison,
VisitScotland and Gleneagles.
