Freshers’ Week 20010 takes place from Monday 13th September until Friday 19th September, and much like last year you can be sure the QMU is going to produce a week to remember!
Remember that the events from 10th-12th September, and the 20th September are open to all students.
For the latest information on our lineup of events, check the QM’s facebook and the event page.
The QM is excited to launch its new weekly clubnight, Quids, starting this September in Qudos in association with Eristoff vodka.
Details about the night will be revealed through the night’s new facebook page, which can be found here.
Check out the night’s logo below and stay tuned to the Facebook for the latest information!
Due to a technical problem with our phone lines, the QMU’s main phone number is currently out of service.
During the interim period while lines are reconnected please contact us via the number below:

We’ll also have food available to order from the bar during the World Cup, and please note that Cheesy Pop is on hiatus this summer due to renovation work in Qudos.
Tickets for the event ore now ON SALE at the QMU Box Office/Reception.
There will be a very special announcment regarding surprise guests for this event very soon – so be prepared!
Although the Official End of Term isn’t until the 29th May (where Cheesy Pop will still be ending your year with a bang!) we decided to bring you a huge party to end your year at the University of Glasgow.
Unlike most “Proms”, this one is strictly informal, and black tie or evening wear is not required – the emphasis is on having a great time – no one wants to be stuck in a suit until 6am! Yes, 6am!
On top of everything that Cheesy Pop normally brings you each and every Friday night, you can expect to see some very special guests take to the Qudos stage to give your year the send off it deserves!
See you there…
The QM is open right through Easter the vacation, meaning you can still get your daily dose of QM goodness. We’re operating with slightly reduced opening hours, so check out what’s open when below.
Shop
MONDAY – FRIDAY 8am – 3pm
Still selling everything a student could ever need, as well as essential revision supplies (flashcards currently BOGOF) and cheap express lunches. Take a break from studying with a crossword in one of the daily newspapers.
Catering
MONDAY – FRIDAY 8am – 3pm
The QM’s second floor catering facilities will be open everyday for breakfast, lunch or maybe an early dinner. Get into the Food Factory during the week for great value meals, sandwiches and pizzas.
Champions’ Bar
MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY 3pm – 12am
TUESDAY, FRIDAY 3pm – 2am
With some huge matches as the battles for the Premier League title, FA Cup, Scottish Cup and European glory all come into the final straight, we couldn’t not have Champions’ Bar open. Big screen sport, pool, foosball and a huge range of drinks including some an excellent selection of malt whisky.
