Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
This is a much underrated university with an excellent reputation for law and medicine. It has a central London campus and has internationally recognised academics and attracts high quality applicants. It has an international reputation envied by many other more high profile universities.

I personally believed that the Queen Mary University of London is down to Earth, academically. This is one of the learning environments that every determined student would like to explore academically, socially and morally in the pursuit of higher education.

Did my degree here in computer engineering. the uni life here was good, most lecturers are arguably good, some never made sense. On the downside administration could improve and certain courses cap retakes at 40% which was pretty annoying considering other courses didn't get this

Recently I had a few conversations with their law school admission team. I felt their staff is poorly organized because of the lack of communication among their own staff that led to my application not received by proper officer. After talking to them back and forth multiple times, I realized the problem is serious in their organization and decided to avoid this university. I will not recommend any friends or families to go to this university.

Horrible university with zero professionalism and highly irresponsible. I have still not received my masters degree yet. Never take admission in such university.

Queen Mary university is jam-packed full of amazing resources = music rooms, science labs, lecture theatres and even places to screen films!!
The Student Union in place is geared towards hearing the student voice and so there's always somewhere to go to express concern. In addition, they have amazing shops, cafes and gyms dotted around campus = mega useful.
Worth your consideration if looking to study at University of London

Beautiful university but the administration office is run by headless chickens. Course information, such as module choice/detail is not updated on the website, and I recommend potential students to call rather than solely look up certain information pertaining to the course online.
Campus is clean and beautiful, especially the graduate centre that boasts some of the best and most inspiring views for self study and group work.
Timetables are often changing; certain academic staff are beginners and dissertation advisory meetings are changed a day before the intended meet. Extremely unprofessional. The MSc Marketing course (my course) had gone beyond the allocated number of students, ergo, certain module specific classrooms are too small to seat all the students.

I can say that it was one of the best choices I made.
When looking for a university to attend, as well as the obvious aspects to check like the quality of the courses available in your subject, or the background of your lecturers etc. it's also important to think about the campus life and whether it fits with what you're looking for as an individual.
The main campus is located not far from Mile End station, which historically hasn't been that great of an area to live / work in, however with the increasing onset of international students to the university, Mile End and East London as a whole has experienced a huge amount of gentrification and is now one of the many "student hipster" locales that this part of London is now famous for.
In terms of the campus itself, it offers a great library and conveniences, including a union bar, cafes and dining halls and a lot of the residency halls there overlook the canal that runs through the campus.
