QMU Open Day

If you're currently contemplating your future and wondering which university or college course to choose, we run open days that go that extra mile to help you make up your mind!

You'll have the opportunity to:
meet academics who will chat to you about your choice of course;
tour the campuses;
see around the halls of residences;
meet and chat to current students and
attend a range of taster sessions - all designed to give you a taste of the subjects we offer.

We'll try our best to make your visit a very personal and informative experience. We are determined to make sure that you don't leave with any unanswered questions. Hopefully, your experience at our open days will help you to see what a friendly and supportive place QMU actually is.

Edinburgh - the perfect place to study
Edinburgh, Scotland's capital, is amongst one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the world. It blends impressive architecture and a rich history and culture with a vibrant cosmopolitan atmosphere. For students, Edinburgh has lots to offer; libraries, galleries, museums, cinemas, shops, clubs, pubs, restaurants, concert venues, theatres, a wide range of sports facilities and great transport links.

Throughout the year, Edinburgh comes alive with various cultural festivals. In the summer, The Edinburgh International Festival brings music, dance, opera and theatre to the city, while the Festival Fringe offers every conceivable art form, including street theatre and performances in all manner of venues. Fringe Sunday is a great chance to catch free shows and previews. The Science and Folk Festivals take place in spring and thousands of people come to Edinburgh from all over the world to be part of the world's largest party - Hogmanay - which helps to celebrate the beginning of the New Year. There's also the Film Festival, Jazz Festival, Military Tattoo, Book Festival, and much, much more.
