QMU introduces the Alumni Referral Scheme
An alumni referral scheme has been
introduced as a way of thanking alumni who
recommend QMU as a place to study.
The scheme has been specifically set up for the
MBA and MSc International Management and
Leadership courses. So, if you have a friend who
would like to study a MBA or MSc International
Management and Leadership course at QMU,
then why not refer them and you could receive
£150. This scheme is open to current and former
QMU students who refer a friend who goes onto
study at our Edinburgh campus.
Referring a friend is easy. All you have to do is
go online and complete the form at www.qmu.
