Once QMSU, always QMSU! Stay part of the Students’ Union community after you graduate from Queen Mary!
Just because your time at Queen Mary as a student has finished, doesn’t mean your QMSU journey or connecting with your uni must. We love keeping our alumni involved in student life – whether that’s joining your old society or club, dropping in for a Qmotion workout or Get Active session, or coming back for one of our events.
In line with his manifesto, Hassam Naeem, Vice President Liberation, International and Postgraduates, has worked to relaunch our alumni offering. It’s now easier than ever to stay connected, keep active, and give something back as we’ve detailed on this page.
Stay connected. Have fun. Give back.
Alumni Benefits
Here are some of the things waiting for you as a Queen Mary alumni at QMSU;
Join Clubs & Societies as an associate member
Lots of our Clubs & Societies welcome alumni through special associate or alumni memberships. You can check the individual society pages of groups you’re interested in to see if that’s an option. Don’t see that option listed? Why not reach out to the committee using the contact details on the page – they might be happy to add a membership if alumni like you are keen.
It's also worth following your favourite former Clubs and Societies for updates on any reunion events or alumni socials.

Giving Back and Making an Impact
From student to supporter – your experience since finishing at Queen Mary could help to inspire the next generation.
We’re always looking for Queen Mary alumni to share their time, skills and experience and greatly appreciate how former students continue to support us in our work to improve students’ lives by volunteering their time. You could get involved by:
- Inspiring current students by sharing your career or life journey through delivering a Skills Award or employability session, networking or mentoring.
- Support a Club or Society grow and improve by lending a hand (and your expertise) with special events or projects or mentoring student leaders and members.
- Donate to a Club or Society you care about – check out our Donate page to find out how. This could be a general donation to a group who made a difference to your time at uni, or for a specific trip, campaign or project the group is running. Any donations to our groups are genuinely always valued and appreciated by all of us at QMSU.
