A QMU student
I was looking for something that was quite broad and that would provide me with a lot of options when I graduate. The BSc (Hons) Business Management at QMU offers me that.
David Blomquist
The personal support I got from lecturers was something I don’t think is normal at most universities.
Philippa Thirgood
QMU has a good relationship with the placement sites and works in partnership with them to help you build your skills and knowledge.

In third year, I did a placement with the nutrition team at Waitrose. The placement helped me gain valuable knowledge of behaviour change, marketing strategies for promotion of healthy eating, product reformulation, and food policies.
