Applicant visit days
If we make you an unconditional or
conditional offer, you may be invited to
an applicant visit day.
Our course-specific visit days are designed
to provide you with more information about
your chosen course, the student
experience at QMU and our campus. You
will also have the opportunity to meet staff
and current students.

Accept your offer
If you decide to accept our offer, you will
need to do this on UCAS Track.
Once you have received all of your
decisions, you will have to reply to your
offers by a specific deadline given in
UCAS Track. You have three options:
• Select a firm choice – this is your
first choice
• If your firm choice is conditional,
you can also select an insurance
choice – this is your back-up choice
in case you don’t meet the conditions
for your firm choice. We recommend
that your insurance choice has lower
conditions than your firm choice to give
you the best chance of securing a
place.
• Decline any other offers.

If you would like to stay in our student
accommodation, online applications go
live in April. You can apply for
accommodation if you are holding a
conditional or unconditional offer. If you didn’t receive any offers, or didn’t
meet your conditions on results day,
Clearing provides you with the
opportunity to apply later in the year.
Applying for accommodation
There is no deadline for submitting
your application. However, we
recommend you apply as early as
possible to avoid any disappointment.
More information and contact details can
be found on pages 40-41.

Results days
If you have accepted a conditional offer
from us, the final stage of your
application is when we receive your
exam results. This is known as
confirmation.
If you have a conditional offer based on
your SQA Highers, A levels or ILC, we will
usually receive these results from UCAS.
We will then update UCAS Track with our
final decision on your application.
If you have a conditional offer based on
achieving another qualification, including
an HNC or HND, you must send a copy
of your transcript and final certificate to
our Admissions team. Once we receive
these, we’ll make a decision as soon as
possible.

Clearing
Clearing is available from 30 June, and
provides an opportunity for applicants
who aren’t holding any offers to apply for
courses at universities which have places
remaining.
Applications for Clearing will remain open

been filled. Details of Clearing vacancies

Joining QMU
Once you have accepted a place with us
we will send you more information about
beginning your course at QMU, which
will include details of anything else you
need to do before joining the University.
During August, once you hold an
unconditional offer, you will also
receive information about how to
formally register with QMU. This
registration process is referred to
as Online Matriculation.
Once you’ve completed matriculation,
we look forward to welcoming you
on campus!
