Good university with many facilities. The course was interesting and there was always help available if and when needed. Careers services was also good and advertised well to all students. Overall a good experience.

QMUL is the only campus University in London, and it's all the better for it. Fostering a sense of community I don't think is found at other London universities, this place offers a distinct experience as you go through your degree course of choice. Drapers is crap, but it's home. The library is spacious, modern and quiet. The societies are broad and all-encompassing. Highly recommended.

Queen Mary has been like a natural home away from home for me. The members of the staff have been of great support and I wouldn't have been able to complete my master's degree without their guidance. Careers services is phenomenal as they actively organise events, workshops and career fairs for students to attend. Keep it up!!!

I ended up here even though this was not my preferred University and it was not even my preferred degree course! Actually, I put this as my penultimate choice through UCAS, but it was my insurance choice. This was mostly because during my University search, I found people who were too harsh in their opinions and thoughts; thus, being influenced by third-parties, I misjudged this University. QUEEN MARY IS AMAZING! I love the campus, the people, my degree... and there is a whole list! For people with high expectations, I think you should appreciate the values and the skills that you gain through your university experience rather than the appearance or the streets of East London. Really, if you are still thinking about everything being shiny and perfect, forget University level education. You are meant to gain intellectual and personal strength, developing your full self. I think university should teach you how to become independent and solve your problems and challenges creatively. For me, Queen Mary did this and I am really happy being here.

The university has great facilities such as interactive smart white boards, macbook desktops and great sports areas. They are constantly improving study areas such as the library as the student union takes feedback from the students regularly. Last year they decided to make the library opened 24/7 as the students requested. Careers services is very helpful. The staff are well trained in helping students find opportunities and graduate schemes are shared over emails on the regular.

Overall great university. The main campus (Mile End) is set back from a busy main road and is like its own little village. The student accommodation is nice for central London (although there are shortages with some people not getting a room in first year). The majority of lecture theatres are nice and modern. Most of the lecturers and other staff are extremely helpful and passionate about their subject. There is one bar on campus which is good for a night out, there are also several restaurants, cafes and shops on campus. QM is very good in terms of sporting and academic societies.

The university does have a very diverse cohort with students from many different walks of life. For the sciences, the lecturers are very proficient in their area and are helpful if you approach them individually. There are many societies that you can join. QMUL are very concerned with career progression after university so they always have career events aiding students in that area. Â All in all the university, as far as I have experienced, excels in the sciences and ensures their students benefit from their time there

This university is extremely positive and I am glad to say is now a Red Brick University. Although not located in the heart of he city like kings or UCL, it is situated in East London and only a stone's throw from the city. This means you get the best of both worlds, cheaper rent, Shoreditch and easy commute! The student union is extremely vibrant and active and the uniceruniv provide a lot of support for struggling students as well as giving lots of opportunicopportunicopp for enterprise and careers advice.

The campus is vibrant and full of like, it feels like a proper community. The course is medicine and its on a different campus which is a bit quieter but the main campus is just down the road! The university has fantastic facilitates from labs to the emotion gym. The students union is great too cheap and cheerful drinks and food! Careers service is amazing and so is student support. They are both there if need be.

Great teaching and engaging lecturers who produce really interesting research. People are friendly and you'll get a good education whilst enjoying the benefits of London !

The university tries hard to listen to the students' needs. Representatives are chosen by the students themselves and receive full training so they can be the students' voice. Queen Mary offers a variety of facilities and about anywhere on campus you can find some decent coffee or any beverage of your choice. If you're having problems staying on top of things or if you need help with anything really, the teachers are there to help as well as professional staff. Furthermore, wifi works well anywhere on campus! Only two things that I'm still missing, a Dutch community (no Dutch people??) and hot food! Although, there are plenty of places to eat in the vicinity of the university. Enjoy your stay at QMUL.

I feel like though QMUL is a diverse environment, it doesn't actually commit to supporting that diverse body. Black history month isn't supported and is openly forced onto black societies with no budget. Tolerance is given not to miniorities but to offensive and racist societies which should be shut down. The consistent disregard and non-commitment to making this a better place for its black student body by the student union is pitiful. The careers services are great - if you want to do a professional vocational job. If you want to be a creative you are forgotten about, much like the black student body.

The campus has many of the required or expected facilities that a main campus should have. The Curve, which is the main cafeteria at the university, provides reasonably-priced food, however could do with extended opening hours. There are other various cafes and convenience stores dotted around campus, which is useful for a campus this size. There does not seem to be enough study space however, particularly during exam season. My course, which is Business Management, is a fairly basic course, and personally I believe it did not provide me the experience that I had expected. Teaching for some modules were very lacklustre, where it even seemed that some lecturers were not taking their classes very seriously. So my course was underwhelming.

The campus is very welcoming full of diversity and international students. There is easy access to all the facilities in campus and lecturers as well as tutors in the law degree try to make all modules as interesting as possoble. Moreover, the student union is very helpful and provides a wide range of services. Finally, although I have not had many opportunities to interact with career services I know that they host many events in order to help students achieve their dream jobs.

Really good, friendly atmosphere on campus. The university holds one of the most spacious and green campuses in and around Central London. My course was Biology, during it I encountered the expertise of many competent professors and individuals who taught many new perspectives. The university offers many societies with many regular events to keep the students occupied when need be.

I really do wish that my time at Queen Marys did not come an end. The learning environment is fun, relax and it feels like your professors are your personal tutors as they are always there, they have constant office hours, and just give you enough time and attention by always placing your learning first. The campus atmosphere is friendly with so many events always taking place in library square and every event is well posted. It is inclusive, diverse and the campus is easy to navigate so you do not get lost.

The campus is arranged in a way that's easy to make your way around places. Lectures are good and the careers services are very good at guiding you. In general it's an alright uni. Assignments are quite vague and different lecturers are good at guiding you, it just depends which one. Marking is very subjective which I don't really like.

As someone in their final year of university, I can say that Queen Mary was the perfect place to spend my 3 years. Not only is the teaching excellent but the staff are friendly, approachable and always willing to help. The fact that the library is 24 hours throughout the year, not only during exam season means that you are free to go at your leisure and work at more quiet hours with no distractions. This is great as the library - having 3 floors- has all the tools necessary to aid your learning. The campus also gives a more homey feel as it is the only campus university in London and enables you to engage with a variety of people from different courses, not only your own and in turn makes the whole university experience more enjoyable.

There are a lot of study places so even if the library is packed, you could probably definitely find someone else to study.

Amazing university, The campus is too small to accommodate all of the students and there are constant issues with heating. Additionally, the construction on campus disturbs the lecture theatres. In the year previous, the School of Business and Management has under 80 students and this year it jumped up to 210 students. Due to this sudden influx and arguable greediness, the school is unable to organise lectures effectively. This has resulted in some lectures to run to 8pm.

I am a second year law student at Queen Mary University of London. So far my time at university has been really enjoyable and extremely satisfactory. I have found that everyone is with extremely helpful and friendly. The step up from secondary school to University was facilitated by staff who are willing to help alleviate stress. The flatmates that I had in first year have helped me grow and inspire me everyday.
