I wanted to come to Queen Mary mainly because it was a Russell Group uni in London, but with a campus. You’re in the middle of the city but you still get that campus feeling— Maddy Stichbury, International Relations BA (Current 3rd year student)
Our staff and students work together to create an outstanding, all-inclusive, world-class university, enhanced by the richness of our diverse student population. We focus our efforts on four key areas: excellence in education, excellence in student engagement, excellence in employability and excellence in the learning environment.
Our students have gone on to make a difference in recognised organisations around the world.
Graduates from Russell Group universities earn 10% more than graduates from other universities over a lifetime
