Amazing opportunities available for students- there are clubs for social enterprise ideas where funding is available. There are also international trips to other universities where student exchanges can happen. in addition to this, there is an annual business project which pays students to work on a small project with a real life running business. overall amazing.

Overall a good experience at QMUL. Foundation year wasn’t as organised as it should’ve been but my degree proved to be more organised. Helpful staff members, well contructed website. Campus life is nice because everything is within walking distance, although BARTS are in a campus based in Whitechapel so I can’t speak on their behalf. Plenty of societies that get you involved. My favourite being the ISOC, always friendly and welcoming faces. I’d recommend this uni if looking for a decent yet comfortable university with diverse students.

The campus was very close knit and felt quite communal. Getting from A to B was rather pleasant. The facilities could do with some improvement. Such as more library/pc space, better toilet facilities and larger supply of textbooks in the library.

Not enough lecture and seminar hours. It should have more study areas. Bad timetable organisation. Good variety of modules to choose.

Queen Mary Univeristy London is situated in between Mile End Station and Stepney Green which means it’s easily accessible through Central, District and Hammersmith and City lines. The campus is quite big especially for one in London, however you do have some campuses which are in other areas depending on your course. For someone like myself who studies mathematics you’ll never have to worry about commuting to other destinations as all your classes and lectures are in the Mile End campus, except for during exam season then you may end up in Wapping. All in all a big learning curve.

The course I am on is pretty interesting, however, I feel as though some of the uni is a bit worn down and could be renovated.

The lecturers are very supportive towards students. Everyone is very friendly and outgoing. The campus is located in a great location close to central London and many other facilities.

Amazing campus and facilities.... lecturers are good at explaining but sometimes lecturers do not use interesting examples or questions. Student burasray or funding is not enough to support student travel fare or other academics. Library printing should be free which is not.

The facilities are nice but it could have more quite study areas. My course teaching time was 8 hour per week which is not nearly enough.

Queen Mary University of London is only ideal because of it’s location. I spent 3 years there doing economics and I don’t have that much good thing to say about the teaching staff. The classes are taken by international Phd students. They have no teaching experience, so they basically jot down things on the board which you copy onto your notebook. They don’t have the capability to clarify any questions in class. Further more all the teaching staff including lectureres have atrocious English speaking capabilities! All of them have a thick accent and pronounce things differently and speak too fast! This makes it very hard to grasp what they are trying to say. Also you can expect no help in terms of the lectures explaining the marking criteria. They will not release past solved papers nor tell you exactly what they want from you in order to achieve the highest marks. It’s up to you to figure out how the lectures want the questions answered and all 8 lectures of the semester will expect different styles of answers. The only thing great about the uni is the campus. It’s has a wholesome campus feeling within central London which is the only one of it’s kind. There are bars, restaurants, grocery stores, book shops, bank and coffee places inside campus. The library is also pretty good

The lectures were interesting and easy to follow, but the seminars often lacked structure and purpose. Staff often seemed disinterested during seminars, and feedback times for assignments were extremely long. The library had a fair selection of books but not nearly enough seating or computers, and the toilets were always dirty. The campus was overall lovely, with a good selection of shops and cafes, if a little expensive.

Professors and lecturers are dedicated in their subject and willing to share their knowledge with the students. Great security as well as efficient administration and departments service.

The university has a good ability to listen to students and make improvements to what students give feedback to. The social life at the university is also great with events happening every week, and staff being very kind and helpful whether in offices or at events. The university also offers great career fairs for students.

The campus is the best thing about the university. The facilities are also good enough but then the course they provide are not that specialised , and the fees in very high .

All three campuses are extremely beautiful and welcoming. The facilities are up to date and the staff is always willing to help you as much as they can.

The library may not be the most visually appealing or the largest, however, the amount of study material present is extremely impressive. Lecture theatres are of an excellent standard, especially with them recently building a new graduate centre that provides both fantastic learning space and lecture halls

The University is great for home students and international students with a variety of societies and extra curricular. So much to be a part of. Since it's in London, night life is always very live, with at least a club open every night. Education is great, with very friendly and welcoming tutors and lecturers, you feel like learning and enjoy every part of being at Queen Mary.

I am currently doing Biology and it is a well equiped course with excellent lecturers and lecture halls. Labs are super modern and teachers use new and improved methods of teaching. We have a good amount of career guidance and organisation is very good. Despite strikes our lecturers are catering towards any lost material and dont leave us in confusion.

The dental school is incredibly new and up to date with fantastic facilities. The staf who ate employed to work there such as lab technicians are very helpful in making like as a dental student easy. The very wide tangle of variety of sports clubs means that whilst at uni you can try something new, that’s what I did and found a new hobby which I now do 4 times a week. The sports night socials at the union every week are also a great night. Although on that note, the other social events could be better as they aren’t as well advertised.

A masters student, course is intense but engaging, all other services such as careers, the SU and facilities are very good. Organisation can be a bit lacking at times but it can be forgiven. As a whole a top uni!
