Helping you succeed : student support services
We provide highquality facilities in which to study and excellent support services , to ensure you have an all-round positive experience during your student journey .
Pre-entry services
If you are contemplating going to university , we recognise that it is not only information about the course that you need . Everybody ’ s circumstances are different and new students may have to consider issues such as finance , childcare or disability . We are well aware that you will require information on these areas before making your final choice . Our Admissions team , Student Funding Adviser and Disability 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 this page by phone , email or in person to discuss issues in a confidential and accessible manner , before or during the application process .
or meeting , please contact a Disability Adviser ( see contact details on page 27 ).
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 that we can begin to put support arrangements in place for you as soon as possible .
Funding
Our Student Funding Adviser provides information on the funding that will be available to you to support your studies , for example , student loans , bursaries , tuition fee loans and childcare funds . For more information on funding and how to contact the Funding Adviser see pages 128 — 129 .
Disability
We aim to support all students in our diverse learning community to participate fully in their studies and university life . For students with disabilities such as sensory impairments , medical conditions , mobility issues , mental health difficulties and specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia , we offer a wide range of support . If you would like to find out more information , or arrange a personal and confidential phone call
Mature students and college leavers
If you are returning to education after a long gap you may feel a little anxious about learning and studying again . Our Widening Participation and Outreach team can answer queries that you may have on studying at higher education level . Eligible students will be invited to join QMAdvance , a short pre-induction course that helps ensure that new students have a smooth transition into QMU , as they embark on their chosen course .
