Student reviews at Queen Mary University of London?
I absolutely love my time at uni so far.All I would say for students that are thinking of coming to Queen Mary, or are due to start soon, would be to make sure that you work hard from the first year, and enjoy your time at uni!In terms of getting a place, make sure you get relevant work experience, and write it down on your personal statement, but don't stress too much about getting a place, as QM is quite lenient.
I'm enjoying my uni life, however in terms of the workload, some of the lecturers expect you just to know it all! So make sure you do all the background reading, because if you don't do it, or make an effort to understand it yourself, then you will fall behind very easily - at least make sure you read the abstracts!Being an international student, I do find the fees really expensive, and I would recommend other international students to visit before coming. I would also tell them to think about doing a foundation year prior to your actual degree. It definitely helped me feel more confident.
I have had an incredible time at QMUL. My course has been well delivered with lots of modules to choose from each year, allowing me to specialise and focus on my own personal areas of interest. The campus is perfect for me; not too big, not too small. It feels safe and homely whilst still being right in the centre of the capital city. There's always something to do, whether it be on campus in the Students' Union, or off campus in the city - there's never a dull moment!
