Student Village

QMU’s accommodation village is situated a stone’s throw away from the main academic and Sports buildings and is made up of 9 residential blocks, offering high quality accommodation for an all-inclusive fee, meaning no extra bills for you to worry about.

Residential blocks consist of 3-6 bedroom flats with each bedroom having en-suite washing facilities and every flat a communal kitchen area, giving you both freedom to mix with friends, and privacy to get on with your studies.

Living the QMU lifestyle on campus is recommended for first year students and is a great way of making new friends and checking out your new surroundings. There are 800 bedrooms in total which are offered on a first come first serve basis.

Directly opposite the main building and so close to halls you won’t break sweat getting there is QMU Sports Centre.

QMUSU is situated opposite the main building and is in the same area as the Sports Centre. Maggies Bar provides many a sore head with its selection of beverages as well as having an excellent choice of food if cooking isn’t on your menu! Entertainment is provided throughout the year with DJ’s, discos, comedy nights, movie nights and quiz nights all making appearances at some point and there are also pool tables, arcade games and much more available on a daily basis.

Freshers week is definitely one week of University life that is not to be missed. Start your year in style with a week that is packed full of parties, sports and events that give you the perfect opportunity to socialise amongst a brand new group of people, potentially making new friends for life.

Look out for themed events at certain times of the year. Christmas parties, end of term “Big Bangs” and the legendary St. Patricks Day Party are just some of the day/nights that may give you a few horror flashbacks the following day!
