    Who's got an offer for Queen Margaret University 2012 entry?
    Couldn't find a thread for this, so who has been accepted for 2012 entry at Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh?

    I've been accepted for BA (Hons) Media, conditional and I need 260 UCAS points for entry

    I think it would be nice to talk to others who have been accepted at the University

    Don't be shy

    Hey.

    I got an offer for QMU, I need to get 195 UCAS tariff points. I got a conditional for (Bs) Psychology and Sociology. I recently got an email from Queen
    Margaret Uni inviting me to an open day for Social Science and Arts related courses. I'm likely to go there but if I get an offer from Napier (no reply yet) then might go there but QMU seems cool!

    Since you're doing Psychology and I've got an offer for Psychology and Sociology we're bound to be in some of the same lectures if you go to QMU. I'm waiting on Napier to get back to me, if I get an offer I'd probably put them as my firm and QMU as my insurance but I'm really not sure what I'll do because I loved the visit to the campus so I might change my mind. I'm really excited about uni - probably gonna regret saying that LOL :L

    Good luck with the rest of your offers!

    I don't know yet, I'm very very happy of that, but I'm still waiting for decisions from the rest of my choices. Actually I really like Film&Media so probably I'd accept that one. What about you?

    PS. congratulations

    Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh: applicants 2012
    Is there anyone who has applied for Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh? It would be great to share your opinions and stuffs...

    I have applied for bachelor in Business Management... and I am holding a conditional offer

    what do you think about QMU? I know it is not a university with sounding reputation (how could it be when it's so young) but I have been to the campus and quite liked it

    I've applied for BA Film and Media, haven't heard anything yet. I can't visit the campus before September, can you describe it a little bit? I've seen pictures and videos, but what impression did you have? How's the crowd? And did you visit the Media department and met some staff and students? I appreciate any additional input

    Oh cool the campus is brilliant its all very modern and theres so many computers! Swans just walk around the campus and theres 2 or 3 ponds. The lecture theatre and classrooms are all state of the art, and you get a student card that acts as a key for the rooms. The accommodation is quite small but fine for students. The student union looks really good and so does the gym. The train station is right on campus and it takes 6 minutes to get to edinburgh city centre. Overall the campus is brilliant and quite compact but it has everything you need, including a food court and shops.

    that sounds very good! thank you so much! I heard it's quite close to the sea. For me, that's a big plus as well :cool:

    did you talk to some current students?

    Yeah its not too far and the town of musselburgh is very nice! Yeah I was given the tour by a current student and she said she loved it and that everyone was very nice and the university was a brilliant place to do a degree because it was smaller and the staff could get to know you better

    unfortunately, I haven't seen the accommodation as there was no one to show me... so I know it only from videos and pictures
    but I consider renting a flat somewhere in Portobello maybe if I go there... I am still not sure...

    I haven't yet firmed my offer as I am waiting for the decision from Napier (but I am afraid that even if get an offer from Napier I won't be able to meet the condition as I am expecting it to be exaggerated)

    the campus is a bit off the city... but in my opinion it is not that bad - it's 30 minutes on bus or 6 or 10 on train (but the train ticket is quite expansive according to what I've found)...

    anyway, the campus is really nice, state of the art facilities...

    have you guys applied for other unis?

    I have also applied for Napier and Glasgow Caledonian... what do you think of these two in comparison to QMU?

    and what do you think about the reputation of QMU? more than reputation I mean job prospects?
