Student support
At Queen Margaret University we are dedicated to supporting students on their journey to higher education, throughout their studies and into their next destination and our Student Support Services play an important role in supporting all our students throughout their university experience.
Our staff within student support services, and throughout the University, aim to help students make the most of their time at University, to support learning, wellbeing and personal development.
All matriculated students can use student central to access extensive resources, events and information. They can also use it to make direct appointments with advisers from these support services: Effective Learning Service (ELS), Student Funding Service, Disability Service, Counselling and Wellbeing Service, and our Careers and Employability service. Some examples are provided below, but please visit our website for information on all services offered:
