International students benefit from our proximity to the city centre of Scotland’s capital, celebrated for its rich history, festivals, and vibrant cultural scene, as well as the beautiful countryside surrounding our campus. Located just six minutes by train from QMU, Edinburgh city centre is easily accessible from anywhere in the UK and beyond. Recently, the city was ranked second in the UK for students after London, and 13th globally by QS Best Student Cities 2025.

Our on-campus student accommodation offers bright, top-notch modern en-suite rooms. Nestled right on campus, living in student accommodation means you’re just steps away from lectures, the library, and all of QMU’s facilities, allowing you to focus more on your studies and enjoy the convenience of a connected university community.

Students also enjoy a supportive environment that values equality, diversity, and inclusion, where every student can feel like they belong. As part of that commitment to social justice, we strive to keep our courses affordable for international students, regardless of their background. You might be pleasantly surprised by our fee rates. See the Fees and Charges section of our website to view international fees per course.
