QMU takes gold for best career prospects in Scotland
For the second year running, Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh has ranked 1st in Scotland for Career Prospects in the 2025 Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs) - an achievement which reflects our commitment to preparing students for successful futures through career-focused degrees and strong industry links.
QMU also secured top positions across multiple other categories, including 2nd in Scotland for our student support services, Students’ Union and our modern on-campus accommodation. QMU also came 3rd for our exceptional lecturers and quality of teaching.
Nationally, QMU secured 6th place in the overall UK rankings for student halls, 14th for the Students’ Union, and 20th for career prospects.
Based entirely on student reviews, the WUSCAs are a celebration of the student voice and highlight student satisfaction.
Across the Whatuni reviews and our own student testimonials, it has been noted that QMU’s compact size and smaller class sizes result in a strong community atmosphere with focused learning in excellent facilities. Lecturers and teaching staff are described as approachable, enthusiastic and always willing to help, and the Students’ Union as being engaging and supportive.
These accolades are a testament to QMU's dedication to providing an exceptional student experience, combining academic excellence with a supportive and engaging environment.
The 2025 results were announced at a ceremony in London on Wednesday 21st May 2025.
