The campus is based 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.

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

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