Alumni benefits - QMU for life

As a QMU alum, you’ve got lifelong access to a range of great benefits to help you along - whether that’s in your career, personal life, or next creative project.

Thinking about your next move?

If you’ve been considering a return to study, don’t forget that QMU graduates can get an Alumni Discount. It offers reduced fees on a variety of postgraduate courses. It’s a great way to gain new skills, change direction, or become an expert in your field with a university you already know and trust.

Grow your network

We host annual alumni get-togethers in Edinburgh and London. These are great, informal opportunities to see old friends, make new professional contacts, and keep your ties to QMU strong.

Are you a QMU international student or graduate? Do you know someone in your home country who would like to study at QMU? If you refer them and if they go on to become a QMU student, you could receive £150.
