About
History
Queen Mary grew from the great charitable institutions of London's East End, with a history dating back to 1785. Our reformer heritage informs our conviction that great ideas can and should come from anywhere. It’s an approach that has brought results across the globe, from the communities of east London to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
Education
Queen Mary offers outstanding students a stimulating, supportive and high-quality learning experience, with teaching inspired by their world-leading research. They have also invested more than £250m in new facilities over the last fifteen years to offer our students an exceptional learning environment. This is reflected in the consistently high levels of student satisfaction. In the most recent National Student Survey (NSS 2014), 86 per cent of the undergraduates expressed 'overall satisfaction' with their time here, with eight subjects in the top ten nationally,nine subjects rated as top in London, and 20 out of 28 subjects in the top five in London.

Queen Mary has made a strategic commitment to the highest quality of research. They have invested in this principle by systematically recruiting the best academics in their disciplines from around the world.

It was perfect for me
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The course content is very stimulating and you are given the opportunity to choose specific modules which you are interested in. Personal improvement is visible across the three (or four if you do a year abroad) years of your studies and the essays produced in this period.
