Hi Charlotte! I was wondering if you've heard if any decisions have been made about Theatre and Film? Thanks! :smile:

Hello - decisions for this haven't been returned yet so we are still waiting to hear from the Admissions tutors there. We very much hope all decisions will be back across the university in the next few weeks, but the absolute final deadline to her will be 31st March. By then, universities must have decisions on UCAS Track so we are working to get things processed before then!

Hi! i'm a swedish applicant and i've gotten an offer at QMU on the conditions that i send a copy of my grades from gymnasieskolan, as well as passing a recognized english language test. I was wondering whether a copy of the original document is fine, or will I need to get my grades professionally translated? and is a Cambridge Advanced English-diploma (awarded at grade A) enough or will I need to take a new test?

Hello
I'm currently applying to Queen Margarets to study nursing in September 2016, but Im a single mother with two small children so I'm a bit concerned about the childcare practicalities of the degree and various placements etc... I'd be extremely grateful if you could let me know a bit about the timetables so I can get a better idea of whats actually involved? how many placements, how often and what sort of hours they are? I realise its a full time degree and will be hard work, but I'm starting to worry that my children won't see much of me for the next 3/4 years!? Thanks

Hello. We have issued some decisions for this, but not all decisions have been returned so we've only had around a quarter back as yet. We very much hope it will all be back to us within the next week or so, within the next few weeks we expect to have them confirmed. (Also, sorry for the late reply, my earlier reply didn't post for some reason!)

Hello - yes a scanned copy of the originals will be fine, and you will need to get translated copies in addition to the originals. Email them to the Admissions team, with your ID number and full name so they can match it up. The CAE should be acceptable, as you don't require a Visa for study in the UK so we can accept other tests than IELTS. Again, scanned copy of that certificate to the Admissions team would be great. Excited to have you as a QMU student in September!

Hello! Firstly, I would advise you to get in touch with our Student Funding Adviser ([email protected]) as he can provide information regarding childcare funding in addition to the Living costs support you can apply to. With regards to timetable - we couldn't provide you details of classes at this stage as the timetable isn't finalised until the summer. The academic staff can provide some information about that, but everything will only be indicative at this stage. You should expect a full-time load typically 9-6 each day as that would also fit in your independent study time. When on placement, this will be blocks typically 7 or 8 weeks in a row. Your final year will have a 15 week block of placement. This will generally be half of your semester on placement, half in class but will switch about year on year as when that takes place (first year is 8 weeks class, then 7 weeks placement for example). If you are attending the Interview day, you will be given more information from the academic staff which may help answer your questions - further details on the days will be sent if you're selected for interview.
