Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)

As one of the world’s most exciting cities, London is a great place for students. There are so many things going on, many of them free, you are very unlikely to ever be bored!

QMUL have invested more than £98m in the last six years on new facilities, establishing an exceptional learning environment. Overlooking Regent’s Canal, our student village in Mile End has contemporary accommodation, attractive green spaces, shops, launderette facilities, cafés, a bar, gym and sports amenities, banking services and 24 hour security. As well as everything on campus, it is next to Regent’s canal, and beyond that are Victoria Park and Mile End park, green spaces in which you can refresh and recharge. The Mile End Leisure Centre and Stadium complex includes an eight-lane swimming pool, two state-of-the-art fitness centres, an indoor sports hall, several floodlit grass football pitches, an athletics track, and other pitches. Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is one stop away on the London Underground network, and is home to English Premier League football fixtures, and provides world class sporting facilities which are available to the public.

QMUL is situated in a vibrant area of East London, close to both Shoreditch, a fashionable and creative media and web-technology centre; and the financial districts of the City and Canary Wharf. Less than a mile away is our Whitechapel campus, home to Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. At the centre of this campus is the stunning Blizard Building, which houses the largest open-plan laboratories in Europe. More centrally, our Charterhouse Square and West Smithfield campuses contain more of our medical research facilities; and our Lincoln’s Inn Fields site is home to our Centre for Commercial Law Studies, where we offer the largest range of LLM specialisations in the UK. 

Queen Mary University of London prides itself on offering a high level of student welfare support which includes our Advice and Counselling Service that provides advice on welfare issues and practical matters such as immigration. Each student is assigned a personal adviser within their academic department, who is available to provide additional academic support.

The Students’ Union organise a range of activities including day trips, live music, club nights, spoken word and more. Some past favourites include gala balls and dances, language lessons, graffiti painting classes, and a floating cinema stationed on the canal at our Mile End campus.

The University has a 2,000-bed student village at the Mile End home, which creates a friendly and safe place for study. Student village is located one tube stop away from the 2012 Olympic Park and the new Westfield Stratford City shopping centre, the largest urban shopping centre in Europe.
