International Maritime Law LLM

Queen Mary University of London

London is famous for having excellent academic infrastructure especially for law. It would be great if there are career guidance for finding a suitable jobs.

There are a lot of events about student life and career planning. However, I hope it could have more electronic resources in the library.

Queen Mary University of London has one of the most facilities on campus from a GP on campus to Mental Health support services and of course many library facilities on campus. At Queen Mary, you are also supported upon getting part time jobs you could become a Student Ambassador, work in one of the shops on campus, work in the library or work across campus.

The staff at the University has been nothing but helpful and welcoming to me. I find the teaching staff are very well prepared, not only for class but for any questions that arise. I also find that the school is very professional in how it offers services. The facilities are also uptodate and the library is amazing. My only note on the facilities would be that they could invest in some wifi extenders, as I often have issues connecting in larger lecture halls.

One of the strongest positives of studying at Queen Mary University of London is the diversity of the student body. You genuinely interact with people from all over the world, which makes seminars and group work more interesting and realistic. I’ve also found that when lecturers are good, they are really good — approachable, knowledgeable, and willing to help if you take the initiative. Some tutors genuinely care about student development rather than just delivering content, and that has made a big difference to my motivation. The campus atmosphere feels lively, and there are plenty of societies and events, which helps if you actively try to get involved. Worst aspects / areas for improvement: The biggest downside has been the lack of consistency and efficiency in administration. Communication can be slow, unclear, or last-minute, which is frustrating and stressful, especially when it involves assessments, deadlines, or timetables. Often, you have to chase multiple people to get a straight answer. Study spaces are another major issue — during busy periods it’s genuinely difficult to find a seat in the library or a quiet place to work, which directly affects productivity. At times, the university feels more focused on recruitment and branding than on fixing these everyday problems that impact students daily. Better communication, faster support responses, and improved access to study spaces would noticeably improve the student experience.
