My experience has been good so far. Everyone is very friendly. Lectures are well organised. There are a lot of societies - so it's easy to find one which you will be happy to join.

Queen Mary University has one of the best campus in London with a great overall university experience. The university offers lots of course and students have great choice to choose their preferred course from it. The career service here is also amazing, you are daily informed about the opportunities through email. The student however needs a little improvement with more facilities for students in the future.

Overall a nice campus feel, all buildings are accessible within a 10 minute walk. There should be more computers in the library as it's quite small and quickly get filled up.

The Campuses are very lovely. The lab facilities are more than adequate. Lectures and tutors are very good and helpful. Easy to commute to and from with fantastic social activities near the university from pubs and bars to restaurants and shops.

The overall atmosphere of the uni is nice and friendly as it is a campus based university. However, the School of Engineering and Materials Science could do with better organisation. It has been fun to study here but the facilities can be found to regularly be faulty. The main attraction of the of the uni is that the lectures are recorded and the library is nearby. There are also lots of societies and so it's a very sociable uni.

Compared to other universities in London, QM has this homely feel. A sense of family. The campus is all together by that I mean instead of buildings dotted around it's all located in the same location which is convinient and adds to the feel.

The campus is quite small which is very good for London as everything is in one location and means that you don't have to travel around much. The facilities on site are good, with a lot of the campus having undergone renovation in the past 2 years, however this has resulted in cancelled experiments etc. due to being out of use. Aerospace engineering was a very fun course, the lecturers are very supportive and will help you if you ask. The support network from uni staff is great, particularly the Advice & Counselling team. The careers service for SEMS is amazing, very helpful, can't comment on the university as a whole.

The medical school Barts and The London is absolutely brilliant, would highly recommend to anyone considering applying. Supportive staff, great facilities lots of choice. The main campus at QM isn't bad handy to have a Santander near by that's pretty much only for students

I love the support you receive here at Queen Mary. I love the diversity on campus and the respect you receive all across the university. The university has zero tolerance policy which makes it ideal for a hijabi like me who fears to be judged or misbehaved. Overall the university cares about their students and you can feel it. The student union ensures that the voice of students is heard.

The campus is quite good- lots of local shops and restaurant with good deals for students. The organisation is where I feel it's lacking as there are many mishaps. This especially includes my course which involves clinics and they are rarely organised well. Even if students are dissatisfied and let QM know, there's little chance something will be done.

The Queen Mary campus is quite nice, it's clean and have a canal side which is a nice view when walking around. There may palaces and rooms except the library where students can work but also socialise. I'm currently on a Science and Engineering course which is not too challenging as it's only a foundation year. I look forward to next year when I start biomedical science which I've heard is very good.

The campus has a really great vibe, it includes students from all years and there's always something new going on at library square. My course is amazing. Biology students tend to get on better overall with each other due to the trips and I recommend those, don't ever stop them! I've made such good friends because of the Millport trip. Can be annoying however when some protocols aren't followed by all mofulm organisers, e.g. coversheets for assignments. Otherwise, I'm glad I'm at QM.

I did a BA in History and Politics at Queen Mary University of London between 2014 and 2017. ADMIN Serving fewer students, the department of History is better run than Politics: there is strict monitoring of seminar attendance, queries emailed to the Department are answered rather swiftly - less so over at Politics. The Student Enquiry Centre and the Fees Office, on the other hand, is a lot like the Council: sometimes you can't help having to go through them, no matter how much you wish you did not have to. TEACHING Similarly to admin, the teaching of the History Department is of better quality than Politics: seminars are more focused, standards of marking in coursework are higher. Amongst the several excellent professors I had the pleasure of learning from, a special mention goes to Prof. Julian Jackson (Head of the History Department) and Prof. Kimberly Hutchings (senior lecturer at the Department of Politics) for their top-quality teaching and their approachibility. FACILITIES As of now, the library is open 24/7 on most days. Although not comparable in size to UCL's, Queen Mary Library has a discreet range of reading material, excellent computer facilities (though more would be needed), good photocopiers. A big negative are the toilets: often out of order and poorly maintained.

I think that Queen Mary is a really good university overall. The staff in School of Politics and International Relations are quite helpful and there is always support available. Lectures are almost always recorded which is really useful. I noticed that Queen Mary has some excellent careers events to prepare you for life after university; the Law Fair is particularly well regarded. It has a very "campus" feel which is rare for a London university and there are plenty of study spaces as well as fun opportunities held by various societies.

The mile end campus is really nice. It has a lot of facilities including the gym, students union and the various shops. My course is slightly intense but overall the content is great and gives you a good insight of various topics related to the degree.

Three years ago I had started Queen Mary, and looking back at it now, theres not a single thing I would change. My journey has come with its highs and its lows, but Queen Mary has become home. From the lectures who are inspiring and engaging, to the library where I know I can always find a familiar face in. Everywhere you turn, theres a sense of comfort and warmth, and i could not have asked for a better uni to be a part of.

The university is great. The environment is lovely, but the support is not as well structured. Often there is very little available support for students. Whether it is commenting on their assignments or general queries or questions regarding mental health, students are quite neglected. Several facilities are held on campus and students are quite aware of them via emails or on the day as they take place in Library Square, which they are highly likely to pass on their way to lectures or seminars. The university also has facilities such as careers, which is quite handy, as well as the student support office for times when you have general queries. Like I said, it's a lovely institution but when it comes to support it is very limited.

QMUL is a non-pretentious institution that provides a great quality education to its students. The University truly cares for it's students and the pastoral support i have received has been brilliant. The campus at Mile End is well kept and the facilities such as canal side (a study space overlooking the canals) is a refreshing space to work in. It is a very diverse and friendly university with a forward thinking approach and a huge variety of societies and sports clubs.

Geography is very diverse and this particular course really stuck out to me more than other universities due to in first year every geography student is able to study the same course - regardless of whether you are bsc or ba. The uni it's self has great help from tutors and lectures with their office hours where I am able to go to my lecturers if I ever require help with lectures or with coursework which is due in the next couple of weeks.

The events are all good fun and everyone is always really friendly, but it probably doesn't quite live up to the hype that everyone makes it out to be.

Great campus with plenty of places to hang out, in East/Central London, so close to Bricklane and Whitechapel and the nightlife! Great food on campus and Drapers bar to hang out at night! The Campus has new buildings this year, lecture halls with space and plus for laptops. The gym on campus is well equipped and has great classes going on all the time, plus lots of membership options for those who want off peak. The library could be better, it could be bigger, have more plug sockets and resources. And the student union could be more serious and more student oriented.

I don't know much about queen Mary, but as a student at Barts I love the nightlife, atmosphere and the people!
