Access courses and mature students
Students who have completed , or are currently studying towards , an Access qualification ( often as part of the Scottish Wider Access Programme ( SWAP )) can apply for entry into Year One of a wide range of our degree courses . The most common Access courses accepted for entry into our degrees are listed on our website at : www . qmu . ac . uk / college-qualifications
College articulation routes
If you are studying or have recently completed an HNC or HND qualification , you may be able to enter directly into Year Two ( with an HNC ) or Year Three ( if you have an HND ) of one of our degrees . Advanced entry ( articulation ) into Years Two or Three is often possible where your HNC or HND is in a similar subject area to the degree course you are applying to study . However , please note that advanced entry may not be possible in all subject areas so you are encouraged to seek advice on the best college course to study to help you reach your goal . The most common articulation routes are listed on our website at : www . qmu . ac . uk / college-qualifications
QMAdvance
Eligible students studying at college will be offered the opportunity to attend QMAdvance . QMAdvance is designed to give you the opportunity to meet other new students who have come to QMU via a similar route and aims to ensure that you feel confident in your abilities and gives early access to a range of key services and staff . The course takes place over three days in the week before the new academic year starts . We send out information about the programme to eligible students over the summer , but if you think you would like more information please contact the Widening Participation and Outreach Team at any stage during the application process .
Direct Entrant Induction
At the beginning of the academic year , students entering directly into Year Two or Year Three of one of our degree courses attend a dedicated week-long induction programme before starting the course . Direct Entrant Induction is run by a team of former advanced entry students in partnership with academic and support staff , and will ensure you are fully prepared to join your course at an advanced level . The induction offers subject-specific input and general university information , such as timetable , IT and support service information . Students will receive guidance on how to develop the academic and research skills needed for degree level study . Our aim is to make the transition from college to university as smooth as possible and give all students the best start to their lives at QMU .
If you would like any advice or information about coming to QMU from college , please contact the Widening Participation and Outreach Team .
