Opportunities to meet us Open days You will never get a better feel for what it’s like to study at QMU than by attending one of our open days (see inside front cover). Our open days offer visitors the opportunity to meet academics and current students, view accommodation in our student village and find out about student life. A range of presentations will provide helpful tips on topics such as applying through the UCAS system and understanding student funding. Campus tours If you are unable to attend one of our open days, we also run campus tours which will enable you to find out more about life at QMU and see our excellent facilities. Our tours are delivered by our student ambassadors, who will be able to provide you with an honest and current perspective on being a student at QMU. Tours include the Learning Resource Centre, teaching rooms, social areas including the Students’ Union and sports facilities and, where possible, student accommodation. There will also be the opportunity to speak with a member of staff from the Student Recruitment or Admissions teams. Presentations for schools and colleges We can give presentations on a number of topics relating to higher education in schools and colleges. Whether it’s a general topic, such as student finance, or a specific topic, such as the study of physiotherapy, we can offer an interactive and interesting presentation which will leave students with a better understanding of the options available. For more information, please contact the Student Recruitment team. Higher education and careers conventions We attend a large number of conventions each year at schools across the UK, Ireland and further afield. We also attend UCAS Exhibitions across the UK.
