The application process There are a number of steps in the process of applying to and beginning a course with us here at QMU. 1. Decide on the course/s which you want to apply for The information in this prospectus and on our website is designed to help you when choosing a course. A visit to one of our open days can also be really helpful when deciding between different courses or universities. Talking to family, your teachers, careers advisers or friends already at university can also help you to narrow down your choices. 2. Applying through UCAS For more detailed information on application and selection, see pages 154 -157 MORE INFO: Admissions E: [email protected] T: 0131 474 0000 Student Recruitment: E: [email protected] T: 0131 474 0000 To apply for a full-time undergraduate course at QMU, you must make your application through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS).

QMU considers all applications Once you’ve applied through UCAS, they send the application to us for consideration. You will receive an acknowledgement email from us, with a QMU application number. Keep this number safe, as you will be asked for this if you contact us about your application. All applications submitted before the UCAS deadline will receive equal consideration. Applications received after 15 January will be considered at QMU’s discretion. If you are in any doubt about making a late application, please contact the Admissions team for advice. Where we receive a large volume of applications, and the number of places on a course is limited, the majority of our decisions will be made after the January UCAS deadline. You can follow the progress of your UCAS application and review any offers you receive through UCAS Track. Depending on the course you have applied for, you may be asked to attend an audition or interview before we make a decision on your application. We will contact you directly with all the information you need where this is the case.
