About the Event

Join our Online Postgraduate Open Day to explore many of the postgraduate courses we offer at QMU. You can access our Online Open Day website from 9.30am on the 17 November. It will be accessible for 30 days afterwards, but please note that staff will only be available to chat to on 17 November.

The courses that are taking part have been allocated a specific ‘live’ time slot (see ‘Event schedule’ below) – this is your opportunity to chat to academic staff from your course/s of interest.

We recommend that you visit the relevant course/s booth/s on the site to read more about the course and watch relevant films and presentations, before taking up the opportunity to chat to academic staff during the live session. If a course does not have a pre-recorded presentation, it is likely that the academic member of staff will deliver a presentation in their live chat slot before engaging in a Q&A session.

NB Do remember that although the Open Day website is available for 30 days after 17 November, the chat function only works during the live event on 17 November. If you have queries after the live chat session has closed, please email studentrecruitment@qmu.ac.uk.
