Pre-entry services
If you are contemplating postgraduate study , we recognise that it ’ s not only information about the course that you need . Everybody ’ s circumstances are different and new students may have to consider issues such as funding , childcare or disability . We are well aware that you will require information on these areas before making your final choice . Staff within our Student Services team are available to ensure you obtain all the information you need before and during the decision-making process to come to university .
You can make contact with any of the services highlighted on the following page by phone , email or in person to discuss issues in a confidential and accessible manner , before or during the application process .
If you require disability information or support , it is helpful to contact a Disability Adviser as soon as you have firmly accepted an unconditional offer of a place on a course at QMU . This helps to provide us with useful information so we can begin to put arrangements in place for you as soon as possible .
Our Student Funding Adviser provides information on the funding that will be available to you to support your studies — this may include student loans , scholarships and childcare funds .
