Benefit from the
Alumni Referral Scheme
Are you a current QMU student or graduate?
Did you know that you can receive a fee for
referring a student who goes on to study at
postgraduate level at QMU?
Gullane beach near
Madras Lodge
If you know anyone who’d like to study a postgraduate course, then refer
them to the QMU admissions team and you could receive £150.
It’s a win-win situation. You receive a fee and they get to study a great
course that should improve their career opportunities.
Conditions apply but find out more by looking at the ‘Benefits and Services
to Alumni’ section on the QMU website: www.qmu.ac.uk ❒
Madras Lodge, Gullane
Madras Lodge in the village of Gullane, East
Lothian is an attractive house owned by the
Graduates’ Association. Any Graduates’
Association member can rent this wonderful
facility for holidays or short breaks.
The Lodge is managed by a committee of
volunteers which was becoming depleted in
numbers last year but more volunteers have
now joined us and a new Chairperson has been
appointed. With a new Treasurer, a recently
appointed Booking Secretary and new positions
looking after operations and promotions, the
committee is now much stronger (although we
always welcome new members).
Last year a full survey of the building was
undertaken covering all repairs and probable
costings for the next ten years. Following this our
previous Chairperson produced a Sustainability
Plan for the property. This gave us a clearer
view of how Madras Lodge can be managed
and maintained into the future so that QMUGA
members can continue their enjoyment of the
property.
The Sustainability Plan was approved at the
QMUGA AGM in June and the first year’s work has
already commenced.
2020/2021 bookings
The accommodation is split into two. Members
can rent the house (sleeping five) and/or the loft
(sleeping four). Members are welcome to stay at
Madras Lodge with their friends or family. Or why
not hold a reunion of friends from your University
days? Rentals in 2020 range from £110 for a
low season two-night break in the loft, to £441
for a week’s rental in the house in high season.
Bookings for 2020 are open, and availability can
be checked on the website.
Graduate 10% discount scheme
Are you considering moving on to postgraduate
study?
QMU offers a 10% discount on published postgraduate tuition fees for
