Queen Mary University of London

Overview

Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) has five campuses stretching across east and central London, and offers full-time undergraduate programmes as well as a range of postgraduate options. Our history dates back to 1785, with the founding of England’s first medical school at the Royal London Hospital. Our roots can also be traced to the establishment of the People’s Palace in Mile End in 1887, which was designed to bring educational and cultural opportunities to the East End.

Three of their campuses are used for undergraduate study; their flagship campus in Mile End, where the majority of the Queen Mary academic schools are housed, and the Whitechapel campus for medicine and dentistry students. Medical students also practise their clinical skills at the West Smithfield campus (St. Bartholomew's Hospital). This East End University is home to 18,081 undergraduate students. The Mile End campus features the Westfield Student Village, with accommodation available across Mile End, Whitechapel and Charterhouse Square.

The staff team totals over 4,000 people teaching over 270 courses. Queen Mary is one of just 24 UK universities represented by the Russell Group; was ranked in the UK’s top 10 for research excellence in 2014; and a mixture of former staff and students have been awarded eight Nobel Prizes.

The university was awarded silver in the 2017 Teaching Excellence Framework, and English, Drama, and Law ranked in the global top 50 (QS Subject rankings 2018).
