Intercultural Society Queen Margaret University

We consider ourselves a student based resource to help you get acquainted with life at QMU, Edinburgh and even Scotland. Whether you’re a mature student, local or international and want to make friends, get more involved with activities and events, or simply have access to a network of people, we are here to help!

You are more than welcome to join us in our events, or even just meet once in a while for social events. We pride ourselves on being a welcoming, no-pressure group that can hopefully offer something for everyone.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT US

We started as a group of students and staff, with similar interests and different backgrounds
who wanted to connect with more people across Queen Margaret University.

Our aim is to:
• Foster a sense of belonging within QMU and Edinburgh
• Engage a diverse range of people

Our activities range from social gatherings (meeting in town or on campus) where we organise fun events such as movie nights, cultural event nights, etc. to spend more time with each other and engage others at QMU.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOU

From our own experience, we know how overwhelming it can be at the start of the semester and this is why we would like to help you. We can set you up with a network of students from different origins to socialise and make friends. We hope we can also be an introduction to life and activities around Edinburgh and Scotland.

We are here for you whether you have a quick question or would like to talk to us in person. We can show you around the campus, take you into town and give you general advice about life in Edinburgh.
