Accessing MindView

We’re excited to offer MindView to QUB students through a new, limited-access model. MindView helps you organise your ideas, plan assignments, and create clear visual structures to support your academic work.

MindView is available to students at Queen’s on a seat license model. This means we have a limited number of licenses and aim to ensure they go to students who will benefit most.

What is MindView?

MindView is a versatile mind mapping and visual planning tool. It allows you to quickly map out ideas and structure essays, projects, reports, and revision notes — helping you make sense of complex information and manage your study workload more effectively.

Important update: changes to how MindView is accessed

Previously, MindView was available to all students through the Student Desktop as part of a site-wide licence. This arrangement has now changed.

MindView is no longer available through the Student Desktop. If you are a current user of MindView and wish to continue using the software, you will now need to request a licence through the Assistive Technology Coordinator: assistivetechnology@qub.ac.uk

Who can access it?

All students at QUB can request access to Mindview after attending a short training session. Contact us at assistivetechnology@qub.ac.uk or book a session if you have any questions
