College articulation routes QMAdvance
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.
While advanced entry (articulation) may
not be possible in all subject areas,
advanced entry 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. The
most common articulation routes are
listed on our website at www.qmu.ac.uk/
college-qualifications Eligable 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 while
giving 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 Outreach and
Community Engagement 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 will 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 generic university information, such
as timetable, IT and support service
information. Students will also receive
guidance on how to develop the
31
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 Outreach and
Community Engagement Team.
