The Campus

The Campus

Located on the outskirts of Edinburgh, the Queen Margaret University campus blends high quality facilities with a peaceful, open setting. Our airy and spacious campus offers a real community feel. Modern and interactive classrooms provide the ideal setting in which to learn English and there are excellent sports facilities, both indoor and outdoor, and a food hall with views of the Scottish countryside.

Location

The Location

The campus is located in the small and historical seaside town of Musselburgh, while also being only a short train ride away from Edinburgh’s city centre. It is only a 10-minute walk to Musselburgh town centre, where you can find many shops and traditional Scottish cafés; a very relaxing place to spend some free time.

Travel and Transport

All journeys on the student activity programme will be by private coach.

Musselburgh train station is based on the QMU campus and trains running directly into Edinburgh city centre only take 6 minutes.
