Overall it is a very well established, high quality institution with an extensive range of degree programs to choose from which even includes foundation year programs for those who may want to enter a degree in an alternative way rather than in the conventional way. Additionally the location in east London offers a variety of things to do as well as on campus events.

The university is diverse in its students, it is based in East London after all. Once you enter the campus, it’s like a mini student city, there’s a bar, convenience stores and even a bank! Most of the building in which lectures take place are nice and up to date, a couple however leave a lot to be desired, and when you’re paying 9k a year, you expect better. Students are nice and approachable, the student union is vibrant and very active within student life.

There are many campuses, the main one in mile end with great facilities, a large number of societies both sport and academic as well as volunteering for students to join. There's also campuses in Whitechapel and Barbican with excellent facilities for the medical students. Theres a library at each campus, though mile end has the biggest library, and an SU on both mile end and whitechapel campus! It's based in East London so there's never a dull moment in terms of night life, plenty of clubs to go to, and brick lane is right next door. Mile End Road has plenty of reseraunts as well so food from various cultures is a hand. The halls of residence are great, have cleaning services every day for bathrooms and every week for kitchen. Many are en suite, or otherwise have a sink in the room. The rooms vary in size but the large ones, especially in floyer house are massive, and even the smaller ones are cosy with enough storage space and space to move around. Overall great uni.

Staff is incredibly disinterested and unprofessional. Some lecturers don’t seem to know a thing about what they are teaching and the assistants are usually postgraduates which are cleary there just as a filler for their cv or project. The library is full most of the time and most labs have an open plan layout, making them way too noisy. Exam set up is old fashioned, they usually throw a bunch of cheap tables and chairs in a theatre and call it an exam room. Doing this a room which was clearly not design for exam sessions bears a price, most desks are wabbly and uncomfortable, and the noise level is unbearable.

Loved every bit of it. Such a friendly atmosphere I felt right at home. I'm really gonna miss it. I spent the best years of my life at uni thus far.

The campus doesn't have as much greenery as I imagined, but some parts are definitely a beautiful. Also considering all the new buildings and renovations going on, it'll look like a really cool campus once completed!

Great location, especially since it's London. There is good quality education and the facilities arent too bad. Sports societies are very popular and well run. They are mostly better than regular societies and there isnt a large choice in terms of regular societies.

Campus was really good. All lecture theatres, study facilities, and accommodation in one area. There are two stations located very nearby, only a couple minutes walk from campus.

Great Uni with a campus and good social atmosphere. Education is mid tier for biology but pretty good in the psych department. The campus is amazing though and access to facilities is easy and conevenient and it helps create a great community. A lot of stoners and hipsters go here and everyone parties

A campus that is close to restaurants, shops and overall a great place to socialise with people!! Here there is the ground where you can purchase coffee and a range of food such as hot food, sandwiches and little snacks. QM also has the HIVE where you can hang out with mates to study and socialise with. Lots of computers to use and rooms can also be booked. Drapers bar and kitchen is also a great place to eat and play pool.

It was good experience in the university. The only bad point being we didn't get to be in the campus pursuing commercial law.

The uni is unorganized. The campus is clean. The library is too small. The food is too expensive. The lecturers are unorganized. We never get our marks back on time

It's pretty good yano. Like only problem is medicine is separate from all the other courses at the main campus so it's hard to meet ppl

Love this University! Really nice multicultural and diverse atmosphere situated in the wonderful EastEnd (I may be slightly bias here as I’m from the East End). I had a lot of support from the necessary staff and the dyslexia services were really efficient and helpful. On my course there was less of a competitive attitude towards teaching and instead one that focused on working together to achieve more than you could alone. Would recommend to everyone that they at least look at QMUL.

I was a Biology at Queen Mary University of London from 2015 to 2018. I had been offered a position through clearing after initially pursuing a Medicine placement which I was not successful in attaining. The course was relatively enjoyable. Queen Mary has a very intense focus on a comparative approach to Biology, which focused on many different species across the animal kingdom- so if you’re interested in human biology this wouldn’t be the course for you! The facilities are nice and clean and easy to find. The rooms can often be over-crowded and for some reason, the heating is always on, in every building. Literally all the time. Nobody knows why. The careers services were pretty lack-lustre. There isn’t much help available. On my first week at the university, I was really struggling with the idea of not being a doctor and I was unhappy in my course and not really feeling like I fit in. I went to see the student support officer who essentially told me to give up and drop out. This still shocks me to this day. Best to avoid them. I will say that the people attending Queen Mary are the nicest human beings ever. It is a diverse community with friendly like-minded people. The students in the School of Biological and chemical science are always happy to help each other out and it’s a wonderful team to be a part of.

Queen Mary is a great uni resort with a buzzing atmosphere and huge diversity of students. There is a place for everyone at this university. There are a vast number of societies and sports clubs available to cater for everyone’s hobbies and interests but also to discover new interests and learn new skill which can help you grow as a person.

I attend the medical school part of queen Mary known as Barts. Barts is a brilliant medical school with great people there to support you through your 5/6 years of university. There are many facilities and endless number of societies available to cater for everyone’s hobbies and interests. There are such a diverse population of people and great way to meet new people and discover new cultures that some maybe unaware of.

My home school (mathematics) was very well run. They're good at listening to student feedback and have actually made changes like making the library 24hrs. The SU bar on campus is fairly standard, bit rubbish and cheesy but everyone goes there anyway. Amazing services, careers, finance, support they really do care about their students and I think being in London they're always ahead of the universities in making changes etc. Only campus uni in London, really had a good time there, would recommend to anyone.

Queen Mary University is one of the only university in London with a proper campus. I live the campus, thr canal flowing through it and the park surrounding it. It feels like a small city of your own. All the facilities including housing, gym, food and drinks are just soo student friendly even though sometimes I think they might be a little pricey. Drapers lounge for students (the kitchen and bar) is just soo perfect for all your casual evenings. The student union always replies instantly and the career services are helpful. They always guide you well however as an international post grad student I haven't had much interaction with them. All in all, queen mary had been a home to me

Quality of teaching was superb. However, the nightlife and social activities organised by the university were quite poor.

The university is quite small and friendly. The staff that have taught me were mostly good and I’ve enjoyed all of my modules. However, the admin for my course seem to be very disorganised and a few people found that their tometables were still being sorted out 3 weeks into term which isn’t good enough. Overall, it’s a good uni and there’s plenty of stuff to do.
