Information
About Queen Mary University of London
Based in the heart of London's East End, Queen Mary's main campus is in Mile End with offshoots in Whitechapel, Holborn, and Smithfield. The campus is well served with tube and bus routes and the onsite accommodation offers canal-side living and views down to Canary Wharf.
Background and History
Queen Mary is the result of many mergers of smaller colleges over the years and can trace it routes back to the mid-Victorian period when there was a desire to improve the lives of those living in London's East End. Queen Mary College, Westfield College, St. Bartholomew's Medical College and the London Hospital Medical College have all merged to form Queen Mary which became part of the University of London in 1915.Location and Accessibility
By Rail: The nearest tube station is Mile End on the District, Hammersmith and City and Central lines. Connections to the national rail network are available at Liverpool Street station, which is also on the Central line.
By Road: Queen Mary is outside the congestion charging zone so less of a hassle to visit by car than some other London universities, although driving is still not advisable due to traffic and parking issues. Numerous buses are available that go along Mile End Road and stop at the university.
Most facilities are wheelchair friendly and accommodation is available designed for usage by people with disabilities.

Academic Facilities
Queen Mary has had many refurbishments and expansions over recent years, meaning it has a mixture of new, state of the art buildings and ones with more historical characteristics. A reorganisation in the 1980s led to the closure of some departments allowing funding to focus on others. Queen Mary was the owner of one of the first wind tunnels in the world and still hosts a strong aeronautical engineering laboratory and well as research facilities for medicine and physical geography. Access to other University of London libraries and facilities is also available to Queen Mary students.
Other on-site Amenities
Most of the campus amenities are around the Mile End site with the other locations being mainly focused on teaching. The campus hosts a number of cafeterias, a student union bar and club as well as a gym and drama/performance facilities. A multi-million pound refurbishment of the sports facilities has recently occurred although travel is necessary to reach off-campus sites such as the football grounds in Chislehurst.
Medical and Social Care
A student health service is available on campus, alongside a chaplaincy providing pastoral care and religious services. Multi-faith prayer rooms are available on site and Muslim students are well served by the nearby East London Mosque, one of the largest in London.
What's on in the Area
The Mile End and Whitechapel areas are known for their vibrant cosmopolitan nature where traditional East End jellied eel shops rub shoulders with the many curry houses that have sprung up in recent years. Brick Lane is just around the corner in Whitechapel, as well as the trendy bars and clubs of Shoreditch- expect vintage clothes, bikes and more hipsters than you can shake a stick at. The east of London also has its fair share of galleries, theatres and independent cinemas.
Moving On
Queen Mary graduates have the second highest starting salaries in the country, boosted by the amount of medical and dental graduates and the high quality of their science and law degrees. Access is available to the largest university careers service in the country, run centrally through the University of London.
