QMU introduces the
Alumni Referral Scheme
An alumni referral scheme has been
introduced as a way of thanking
alumni who recommend QMU as a
place to study.
The scheme has been specifically set
up for the MBA and MSc International
Management and Leadership courses.
So, if you have a friend who would like
to study a MBA or MSc International
Management and Leadership course at
QMU, then why not refer them and you
could receive £150. This scheme is open
to current and former QMU students
who refer a friend who goes onto study
at our Edinburgh campus.
Referring a friend is easy. All you have
to do is go online and complete the form
at www.qmu.ac.uk/alumni_and_friends/
refer-a-friend.cfm
