Alumni & Friends

Welcome to the section for QMU alumni & friends

The Alumni & Development Office has two key roles:

ALUMNI

• Scholarships, prizes and placements for current students
• Equipment for subject areas
• Research projects and research groups
• Capital projects such as the new campus

Recent donations generously made to QMU include:

• Our largest single donation to date (over £500,000) from an anonymous donor in order to fund research into osteoporosis and how patient handling techniques can be improved to lessen the risk to sufferers whilst in hospital.
• Annual donation of £40,000 from Santander Universities to fund International Scholarships, Research travel grants and Community Awards to charities where QMU students have been active in volunteering
• £24,000 from the Trust for "Wounded Willy", a full size body phantom for use in the Radiography Department
