QMU UCAS figures statement

30 January 2012

“We are pleased that UCAS statistics show that applications to Queen Margaret University continue to grow and that our percentage growth is well above the Scottish average of 3.6%, bucking the UK trend which shows a decrease. The figures show that we have the highest year on year percentage growth in applications of all the ‘modern’ Scottish universities, excluding the new University of the Highlands and Islands. This allows us to build on our already strong position in terms of the ratio of applications to the number of places available and shows how we are increasingly being recognised for the quality of our teaching in our flagship areas of health and rehabilitation, creativity and culture and sustainable business.”
