Welcome to Queen Mary University of London (QMUL)

Queen Mary has been at home in the East End since 1887. Starting out as a Victorian ideal, our founders aspired to create a place where everyone would have access to the same opportunities in education, recreation and culture – regardless of background.

We’ve continued to grow throughout our 130 years, opening centres across the city and bringing students and staff together to study from all over the world. One of the first colleges to provide higher education to women, Westfield College, joined us in 1989, and the internationally distinguished medical colleges of St Bartholomew’s and the Royal London Hospitals combined to form our own medical school in 1995.

Today, we are one of the UK’s top research universities and our postgraduate programmes offer a chance to explore subjects as diverse as the world in which we live. We would love for you to become a part of our story.

Come and share our knowledgeWe know our postgraduate students are passionate about their subjects. In the tradition of our early expansion, we’ve continued to develop degrees across our world-leading expertise, from humanities and social sciences to medicine, dentistry, science, and engineering. Our programmes are directly informed by our academics’ latest

research. As professionals, they work side-by-side with industry, government, business, communities and charities. In doing so, they understand the demands of modern-day society and can, in turn, share their insights with you.

Become a part of the capitalWe retain close links to our local communities across London and remain dedicated to public good. We are an intrinsic part of east London, and have five campuses across the capital. Set beside the beautiful and historic Regent’s Canal, our main site at Mile End is one of the largest residential campuses in the city and is home to our new £39m Graduate Centre. With the City of London to our west, the Queen Elizabeth II Olympic Park to our east, Canary Wharf and Docklands to our south and beautiful Victoria Park to our north, you’ll be in the perfect position to explore the capital.

Meet us – in person or onlineOur Postgraduate Open Evenings offer you the chance to explore our campus and meet our tutors and students. If you can’t visit in person, don’t worry; we run Postgraduate Virtual Open Days online too. We also have representatives in 51 countries and staff who regularly travel overseas.

What attracted you to your programme?The programme content was rich and well-structured, enabling a well-rounded view of all aspects of the subject. Lectures were given by both academic professors and investment banking practitioners, which helped us draw a nexus between theoretical concepts taught in class and their practical implementation.

What added benefits did the programme bring?The meetings with industry professionals invited as guest speakers allowed us to get new and often different perspectives. Above all, these were good opportunities to network with some fine personalities from the City of London.

• Economics and Econometrics*

• Finance and Econometrics*

*These programmes are eligible for Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funding.
