For Teachers and Advisors

We work closely with schools across Scotland throughout the year. We are available to attend your careers events, host groups of pupils on campus for workshops, tours and events, and visit your school to deliver a wide range of interactive presentations. Please see below

All of our presentations and workshops can be amended to suit your audience size, year groups and needs. We can also adapt workshops or presentations for an audience of Parents/Carers or Teachers. We are also happy to support any CPD events and training days to ensure that teachers and pastoral staff are confident in writing references for their pupils' UCAS applications.

Subject Specific Workshops S1-S6

We can offer a variety of taster workshops for your pupils, allowing them to trial different subjects. We also offer specific subjects such as Sociology, Film & Media, Allied Health Professions and more, for those who know what they are interested in. These can be delivered at school or on campus here at QMU.
