Queen Margaret University is privileged to have a varied and growing international student body, which currently comprises 18% of the total student body. Students from over 65 countries around the globe currently enjoy participating in the whole ‘student experience’ at QMUC, whilst advancing their education. At QMUC, we recognise that studying in a foreign country can be a daunting experience for many international students and there is a wide range of support available for international students. Our small size allows us to offer a friendly, responsive and understanding service. The International Office coordinates an orientation programme and range of social events, including free Christmas and New Year programmes, free bus trips to Fife and the Highlands and a free welcome dinner. The University College prides itself on its community spirit. QM also has an impressive range of facilities, including a 20m indoor swimming pool and sauna, sports hall, squash courts and fitness suite. The library offers an effective and up-to-date information service and the IT workshops have access to the University College’s network facilities including e-mail, internet, CD-ROM library and online teaching materials. There are two cafeterias serving a variety of meals and snacks throughout the day. There is also a well-stocked shop on Corstorphine campus. All students also have access to the Student’s Union, which organises a range of social activities. Students at QM can choose to live in on-campus self-catering halls of residence or in selected home-stay accommodation. Accommodation in halls of residence has Internet access facilities and is located on or near each of the three campuses.
