Queen Mary University of London is the only true campus in the heart of the city, which makes it a really unique place to study. I found their Welcome Week to be a great experience there were tons of events that helped me meet lots of new people during my postgrad. The campus has a vibrant international community and it’s nice to see familiar faces everywhere you go. The facilities are excellent, not just for studying but also for hanging out with friends in the cafes and social spaces.

The WiFi in the programming lectures doesn’t work and neither does data so it is sort of redundant. Could just set up a new router there. Lack of regularly stocked toilets and some lecture halls and overly hot/cold consistently
Good wifi, careers service is not too good, not many opportunities as I would like, however great facilities and good students union places on campus, multiple of them and a big variety
Good uni for a decent prize range

So far my time at the university has been enjoyable; I really like exploring campus and think we have great lecture theatres. I did wish there could be more sockets in lecture theatres for charging devices maybe under desks or on the floor. Something more is for the campus maps to be updated and have a search bar system so it makes navigating classes easier, as the category system can be confusing.
Had a really enjoyable time at Queen Mary both academically and socially!
Queen Mary is an amazing university. The school provides seamless and thoughtful support throughout the application process, visa sponsorship, and accommodation registration. QMUL values the diversity in teaching and studying, giving a rich multicutural environment.
Very happy with the university so far, there are lots of societies to join and the teaching has been very easy to follow
Queen Mary has a large, structured and organised campus which is what I like. There are diverse societies that can cater to different interests and at reasonable prices. Careers Service could offer more opportunities for students in terms of placements, usually any information given regarding placements is very general and always the same. Always good internet connection.
Everything at QMUL is amazing!
My experience so far has gone really well, i’ve joined a society and met lots of new people. The school facilities are also great, i really like how there’s an only women’s gym.
I think there need’s more toilets, more food spaces, plugs in lecture theatres! More microwaves in the recovery room.
Full of outside of class activities!
Some things just depend on the cohort. Clubs for example are either weaker or stronger depending on the people in charge for the year
QMUL has always been my dream university and it did not disappoint. I’m on my final year out of four years and i’ve loved being here. Everything is perfect and organised to the best possible
I like how modern and student-friendly university facilities are! I like how big the library is with various zones for individual group studies. Everything across campus is made to make students' life easier. Student Union is very active and everyone can find something that will correspond with their interests
Wi-Fi is quite slow, I often end up using my own personal data. Good facilities but could be improved
Exciting, very fun and always something to do
It is the best experience I have ever lived
I am a second year student in Queen Mary University of London and my experience so far has been great. I’ve gained so many new experiences and the environment here is great and easily adaptable. All the staff and teacher have been great and very helpful, especially when you need to ask something that you don’t understand or you don’t get how it works and this applies to me specifically because I’m international student was a big chain coming here though everyone was very kind and helpful, and it was easy for me to adapt hearing in the UK.
Welcome Week and Freshers Fair was amazing, exactly what i had expected, the Qm app and support with careers and future and internships was far more than i had expected, quite glad im going QMUL
Wifi needs to be more stringer.
As someone who never originally planned to go to university, I was shocked by how much I enjoy attending Queen Mary University of London. The campus is nice as it is mostly contained and has so many different buildings and study spaces which allows for everyone to find a place to work or meet new people. Additionally, there is a wide range of societies and clubs that you can join or even just decide to attend one off activities. This means it is quite easy to find people who you will share similar values and hobbies with which helps to create a nice sense of community. Lastly, the lecturers and staff are very welcoming and allow for good chances to get to know them and ask for support through different activities such as the learning Cafe, small groups meetings with advisors and optional support sessions. This means that whilst you do get a lot of independence within the university, there is loads of support from staff if you need it.
Absolutely loving my experience at QMUl. The law school is maintained to the highest standard, the quality of teaching is outstanding and the financial & logistic accessibility of different shops on campus is extremely comfortable
I am at Barts and love it here. Students are friendly and not competitive, societies are a massive thing and run dozens of events, nice campus and easy to get around, close to central.
Queen Mary University offers excellent academic support and has a very welcoming atmosphere. The campus is centrally located and well connected.
I am a new student here and yet there is such a welcoming atmosphere
good uni, great campus and a huge range of clubs and societies on offer. some great facilities and support available when needed.
Queen Mary has students from diverse backgrounds, making it a safe environment for all religions and ethnicities. Lecturers are very open to feedback and actively ensure students voices are heard by making changes to how students are assessed.
Amazing uni experience! I love being social with everyone in the campus.
I went on exchange at the University of Melbourne and the one thing I miss tremendously is their campus. Queen Mary has a functional campus, but it could be a bit nicer aesthetically as well as having more places to hang out with friends or study. Additionally, not every seminar leader is very enthusiastic about their work, and I recently had to drop a class due to this.
Clubs and societies happen at a poor range of times making it difficult for commuters. Good careers support team with lots of great schemes like the student consultancy project which is the biggest pro of the uni but sometimes appointments are inaccessible and they dont raise enough awareness of spring weeks etc. Campus is fine nothing to complain about but not amazing l. Good library.
It's all right. There have been highs and lows to my experience.
There are many societies to take part in. There is a good transport system closeby.
Absolutely in love with how Queen Mary is so organised and considerate of their students. So many shops on campus have so many different kinds of food and drink available to you. The classes and lectures are organised in a way that you are able to learn at your own pace, and ask questions at every step. Staff are so friendly and always willing to offer help where they can AND refer you to someone who CAN help when they can't. Best of all is Queenie the Cat! adorable, friendly and loves to come say hi while you're at Canalside.
I love the QMUL campus as it is clean and accessible. It is in London which is great and close to other tourist sights so feel as a student I am getting a great experience. The careers department has really helped me with future career prospects, and I love that this is made a part of my course. Only downside is Eduroam the internet WiFi service is so bad to connect to sometimes.
Love my UNI! Love the campus vibes, excellent support from the teaching faculty and great food aswell!
I’m a Master’s student and although I’m new to Queen Mary, my experience so far has been truly outstanding!
University is pretty nice, albeit situated in a mid part of London.
So far I have enjoyed university I made some new friends Queen Mary holds many events for freshers to meet before the start of the course. The teachers are very helpful and engaging which make the lectures or seminars to go fun, but also they are very informative helping with understanding the content in a simple way.
University is fantastic. Has state of the art technology and leading lecturers that teach and guide students through structured work.
Overall the experience at this university has been exceptional. The well being staff are very involved and help when approached. Senior team take our concerns seriously and implement changed accordingly, meaning they do listen when asked. There’s a lot of extracurricular stuff we can get involved in. Mile End campus has a lot of facilities however Whitechapel campus can do better.
The world class research experience and a rich learning environment to achieve your most potential.
Enjoying my first couple of weeks studying medicine at queen marys. Everyone is very nice and sociable and the diverse community is something that really stands out to me
I’ve recently started my journey as a first-year undergraduate student at Queen Mary University of London, and the first two weeks have been exciting. From navigating the campus to meeting classmates and getting a feel for my course, everything still feels fresh and full of possibility. Although it’s early days, I’m already starting to settle into university life and looking forward to what the year ahead will bring.
QMUL is a good place to study if you want a mix of strong academics and a proper London student life. The campus is in East London, so it’s easy to get around and there’s loads going on nearby. The student community is really diverse and there are loads of societies to get involved in, which makes it easy to meet people. Support from the uni can be a bit slow at times, but overall it’s been a solid experience — you get good teaching, good opportunities, and plenty of chances to do more than just your course.
Queen Mary University has a buzzing, diverse and intelligent community of people. From clubs and societies to the lecturer's advice and feedback hours, Queen Mary University ensures that you have a lot of fun but that you are also set up for success!
This university is quite good for academics. However in terms of location wise and how the infrastructure looks, it seems quite basic, although they have already started making improvements on renovation. The wifi is also very poor, its only usable in some specific areas. This is pretty much all that this university is about
I really enjoy studying at Queen Mary. The environment is welcoming, friendly and I feel a sense of community at this university. They have a broad range of societies ranging from crocheting and baking to fencing, archery and debate. Teachers are always encouraging and provide additional support which has helped me in the past. There’s a lot of diversity at Queen Mary and apart from the occasional WiFi connection issues, lectures and seminars run very smoothly.
Qmul is a great opportunity to build a great social network, you will have the chance to enhance your previous skills and learn from teachers who will be there to support you
Campus is easy to navigate and everything is close together so the walks from one place to another isn’t extensive. Careers service is always giving talks during our lectures about the help on offer and to reach out if needed.
Love the University, so grateful to be here!
It's too early to judge, but so far everything is okay. My only concern about the university, is that they are not that responsive their emails when it comes to admin. issues.
I don’t like how the student union is organized. I wanted to join the yoga society but I have to pay for each session. Since I don’t have a uk bank account it would cost me 10 pounds only to make an international payment. I don’t think we should pay for each session since its a student society.
QMUL provides varieties of modules
QMUL is an excelent university, not just from an education perspective but also from a campus life one. Clubs and societies are great for the social aspect and the facilities are exceptional.
" Queen Mary University of London is incredible; it has not only supported my academic growth through its engaging courses, inspiring lecturers, and diverse resources, but it has also helped me develop personally by providing opportunities to build confidence, connect with people from different backgrounds, and discover new perspectives that continue to shape who I am today.
Very lovely uni and very lovely staff, the only major downside is the wi-fi
Teaching style , events and campus is wonderful
I am very grateful that I got chance to study in one of UK's prestigious institution.
It's an OK university, but reputationally and facility wise I wouldn't say it's outstanding.
All lectures are very clear and engaging. The library has lots of facilities and the campus is quite modern. Also all resources and learning material are all organised on qmplus with regular announcements and student forums.
Just joined but really like it so far! :)
Ideal university to study law! Best decision I ever made for my future career as the teaching quality is superb especially Land Law, which was one of the modules I was scared the most since everyone around me was telling me how hard it is. However our lecturer is an amazing person who made every lecture fun; and thanks to his teaching style I got a high 2.1 from his class.
It was great university for international students.
This university will meet your expectations.
To be honest, I was very surprised by the diversity range in this uni, starting from the lectures to the students. What I really liked from the 2nd to the 3rd year is the ability to choose modules that you are interested in, with a huge variety. I also like that these modules are up-to-date with the current world situation, which gives a clear vision and highlights the applicable modules' information.
Including all the staff members i.e Alexis, Emmanuel and others has stayed really helpful thought this year. Sincerely Harsh 301 E.
QM’s campus truly feels like a home away from home. It’s spacious, green and there’s always something going on!
Nice university, not very diverse
Loved QMUL. Honestly, the best student life. However, academic staff’s quality could be improved.
Overall, a decent experience at the university. The campus has a good environment for studying, and the infrastructure is solid. Teachers are approachable and generally available when needed. However, in terms of career support and job placements, there’s definitely room for improvement. That said, the academic side of things is well-managed, and the overall experience has been positive.
I had a great time! The accomodation was nice and was homey, especially the room. It had a beautiful view of downtown London (from my view) and waking up to it felt magical, especially with the wind open! That is honestly something I will remember. The staff were generally nice. The canal was super nice to walk alongside morning and night! Good memories! However, being at the back of the QMU campus is a bit inconvenient and takes a while to get to the nearest station, but that’s not much of a bother.
Best university in London! The campus is truly iconic and always so full of life, events, and culture to explore.
there are not enough light when its at night
Happy student at blithehale court. Angel really nice and always helpful
amazing in BlithehaleCourt. happyhere
I love staying here, good governance, all workers always care about our needs and safety, and we can be supported in time.
Really international environment, you can communicate with schoolmates from all over the world
Good school good campus but some things could be improved
In terms of university facilities, it is all very accessible, and help is always available. With the introduction of ASK QM I believe the process of asking for help and getting help is going to be even easier with clear directions for students.
I’ve gone to every lesson and I have participated in many career programmes which have really improved my personal and professional development.
Very good university to go to! Great lecturers and students who push you to your limit. Campus is easy to move around.
Overall, The university is good however the way QMUL is dealing with the camera under desks peeping up girls skirts isnt good enough,
Very nice place and I really love here
It’s a really good university.
Programs are well structured. Teachers work hard on their modules. Students' queries are dealt with in detail.
Good but need some more convienet facilities for students.
Great studying spacjng area and teachers

I am enjoying my life as a PhD at QMUL
Sherren house is a great place to live, rooms are spacious and clean, offering ample storage space for personal belongings. The common areas, including the kitchen and lounge, are well-maintained, providing a great place to socialize and study. The location is ideal, with easy access to public transport and being close to campus facilities,staff is kind and friendly especially Sana,always ready to help in any matter, enjoying here.
The highlight of my university experience has been the support offered, whether it’s academic, career, or mental health. It’s been above and beyond and made me university journey easier and more enjoyable.
Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has a vibrant and diverse campus with excellent academic facilities, libraries, and study spaces. The campus offers a mix of modern and historic buildings, green spaces, and a welcoming student community. There are plenty of dining options, student societies, and support services available. Located in East London, it has great transport links to central London. Overall, QMUL provides a well-rounded university experience with strong academic and social opportunities.
It’s okay but their campus is not the best and student support could be much better. As a graduate medical student, I’ve been told twice in the past month that they couldn’t help regarding some personal/financial matters. They haven’t even signposted me to the best places to get help! So the student support is awful but everything else in terms of teaching and reputation is good enough.
all good in the University, everyone is friendly.
It's usually good, but sometimes the network is not good.
Reception is good and helpful.
