Queen Mary University of London

Campus is close by which makes travel easy, but there’s a lack of support in terms of extra material for revision etc

The campus is in a Zone 2 location in London relatively close to central. My lecturers were relatively helpful however the welfare support team handles students very badly. They don’t really listen to student’s problems and just want to push them away. Very rude and rigid. Its a good university but the staff could have more compassion.

Very welcoming university, a great campus with helpful lecturers and teachers. The courses are tailored to specific interests of the individual and there is a lot of help in the uni in all aspects.

The campus and facilities have definitely improved, as they have refurbished the Hive, which is the university’s main common room. There are now areas where we can chill with friends as well as areas where we could study as a group and computer areas to study alone too.

Terrible organisation, crowded, poor facilities, little if any personal contact with students. Worst and most stressful experience due to lack of orgnisation and poor communication.

Academically speaking, Queen Mary has good lecturers and facilities to help you work hard and achieve the grades you want, even if the work is independent. The campus however does not focus on the social aspect of university and it can be difficult to meet people similar to you

My geography course is better than I expected, it ticks all the boxes and allows me to experience a wide range of different tasks. The campus is much smaller than other universities but it has everything you need and being able to socialise and meet others so quickly truly blossomed by University experience. I love it!

I had an amazing experience in my first year at Queen Mary University of London. Enjoy every moment, starting from induction, lectures , labs, events , volunteering to the end of term revision week.

Very happy with the university, the course offered to me is up to my needs. I would recommend Queen Mary University to everyone.

My course is very well organised and all f the teachers are willing to help you. The campus is small, but quite friendly and is quite easy to make friends. Some people on my course are quite unfriendly though so hence the 4 stars.

The university is overall fairly good. However, the location could be better and more central to London. There isn’t a great amount of things to do immediately around the university.

My university has quite the variety of courses except arts but thats ok. The campus has all facilities needed and the student union is well structured. There is a gym, three places to eat, library and even a bookshop to buy books and a supermarket which has a ample selection of food to eat

My course (Economics and Politics) combines two very interesting subjects however what is upsetting is that there is little focus on how those to subject are related. Politics modules are often uninspiring and do not encourage discussion but focus on one narrative. The student union works very actively towards improving students' lives and their involvement is very visible on campus. They run a lot of events to celebrate cultural diversity on campus as well as organise a lot of Freshers events during Welcome Week what integrates students and helps them make the most of their experience. Events such as clothes swap, speed dating, theatre trips, live music sessions, move screenings. Careers services are very helpful and usually you can schedule an appointment the same day and you can get very constructive feedback on your cv and cover letters.

I honestly enjoyed my university experience at qm. The gym is on campus helped me de-stress, I've made friends for life that I know I can depend on, the staff in my department grew increasingly more helpful for me to get better and better grades, and the library is perfect in the morning. Honestly, I'd do the whole experience again and would definitely still pick queen mary over any other university.

Studying law at QMUL was one of the best decisions. They are incredibly supportive with careers, and always seek to give new opportunities for students to develop their careers after university.

Overall a great university with really good lectures and a lovely campus for central London. Lots of facilities, gym, student bar Drapers on campus, lots of societies. Mile End itself isn’t the nicest of areas but being a campus uni security has never been a worry

This university is very well taught, with very distinguished and well educated professors. Professors are engaging, and really take an interest in the performance of their students.

Poor facilities - insufficient amount of space in the library. Poor communication - often lectures are cancelled without notice, only a note left on the door. Once a computer based assessment was issued incorrectly, those who undertook it were not given a chance to retake and grades suffered. Extreme difficulty when trying to change modules at the start of the year. Campus was not very large and the student help service is completely slow and understaffed.

Overall, the university has a great environment , both in terms of social life and education wise. The university offers good support to students should they seek it. Teaching is very organised and communication is efficient

University teaching facilities are very good. I study physics and have found many of the lecturers to be poor, they clearly have knowledge but just don't engage students enough, often come across as patronising when questions are asked. Location is the best thing about this uni, couldn't be better!

I loved the course! I loved my teachers and my lectures. I loved the surroundings and how close everything was

Firstly, the overall appearance of the university is not breathtaking but it is decent. There are a few new and modern buildings that make the whole university appear eye catching. I do appreciate how the library had been upgraded particularly the silent computer room because it allows me to have all the relevant resources whilst the opportunity to revise in silent. However, the university is quite small so the best equipped facilities are only accessible to those on a first person basis.

Great place, learned loads and great gender ratio.

My course constantly had schedule changes in my final year, with really good seminar leaders being replaced by rubbish ones. Only reason I've rated it 3 stars.
