QMU Connections
Explore ways to connect with other students and the university. We offer a number of services for QMU alumni, including networking opportunities through QMU’s business pages on LinkedIn and advice and guidance from recent graduates.
1. Follow us on LinkedIn
Even at this early stage of your academic career it is useful to think about how others can contribute to your success. While networking might be an unfamiliar concept right now, it is never too early to broaden the base of people who could support your academic career.
If you do not already have a LinkedIn profile, it is a good idea to get one started as you begin your academic career at QMU. Connect with academic staff and other students from both your course and wider area of study.
Look for updates from LinkedIn on networking and training events taking place both in-person and online, many of which are free.
QMU Business School and QMU Global have their own dedicated LinkedIn pages which are also worth a follow.
2. Catch up with the QMYOU Magazine
Keep up to date with a range of exciting news and initiatives from QMU as we shine a spotlight on the excellent work of our researchers and academics, as well as our inspirational students and graduates.
3. Pick up a piece of QMU merchandise
Feel part of the QMU community and commemorate your time at QMU with branded clothing & accessories.
We are delighted to be able to offer you a selection of official QMU merchandise in partnership with Merchflow, a QMU graduate start-up business.
4. Follow QMU on social
Keep up to date with what is happening both on and off-campus by following our main social media channels:
We also have a web version of our weekly Student News bulletin, which you should receive each week via your student email account.
5. Speak to our Careers and Employability team
While it may be early in your university journey it’s never too soon to think about your future career. Whether you already have a clear pathway in mind, or have absolutely no idea where you want to work, QMU’s Careers and Employability team may be able to help.
FYI
Whilst many of these campus-based resources may not currently be available to our QMU Global collaborative partners, you may still find value in some of the supportive content found via the Careers and Employability Service. Do remember, though, that your institution's own educational team will offer similar support options to that provided here.
6. PALs YouTube
Whilse some of the content available via the channel is Edinburgh-focussed, a good number of videos and guidance created by students for students can offer you some interesting perspectives and guidance. Worth a watch!
