Criminal Convictions
If you have a criminal conviction, you should have declared this on your application form. If a declaration has been made, the nature of the conviction will have been investigated and a decision made on whether or not you may be admitted to the programme.
We would like to emphasise that a criminal record does not automatically prevent you from joining a programme. However, failure to disclose a criminal conviction is a disciplinary offence. Failure to declare on your application form and / or providing misleading information will result in your being asked to withdraw from your programme.

As may have been advised in your offer from Admissions, you need to provide “a satisfactory PVG check from Disclosure Scotland or equivalent polic check.” If you have not applied for this yet, please do so as a matter of urgency.
New students should have already received a PVG application pack from the Admissions office. However, if you do require a new pack, please contact the Admissions Office.
For International or European applicants, this is in addition to a comparable check from the police in your home country. While we appreciate that the process is likely to be difficult depending on nationality, students are nevertheless asked to investigate the availability of alternative forms of evidence of their personal record.
If you have any questions or concerns about any of the above, please contact the Admissions Office: admissions@qmu.ac.uk
or call 0131 474 0000 and ask for "Admissions."
