Queen Mary university is a very diverse environment to be in which gave the chance to embrace the different cultures present through the range of different societies.

I studied biomedicine and I enjoyed it very much!
The only thing I may have not liked about the university is the lack options when it comes to student accommodation, but apart from that I would highly recommend it.

During first year, when I began attending QMUL it was quite intimidating but due to all of the friendly people, societies, clubs and general activity going on around campus, it felt natural and enjoyable.
Ive now started my second year, and one aspect I have to highlight is the helpfulness of my lecturers who reply to emails and queries particularly fast and provide engaging lessons that feels more like a discussion rather than being spoken to.

This is my second year of studying BSc Biomedical Sciences at QMUL. I love the supportive, inquisitive environment on my course between students and lecturers alike, with fun lectures and lab sessions and organised systems if you ever need help from jobs to mental health. I feel I am always encouraged to go beyond the scope of studying and provided with many resources I can utilise. The only problem I have is that scheduling can be an issue, for example, workshops on assignments clash with timing for our laboratory practicals. However, this issue has little effect on my overall student experience.

The campus is vast and green, with a lovely canal-side study area looking across to Mile End Park. My most memorable experience of my first year at university is my accommodation overlooking said canal and park. It’s hard to believe the area is situated in such a centralised part of East London. It’s the perfect environment to balance the intensity of study and the calmness of relaxation

Anyone I talk to about QMUL, I say this. I also encourage them to see for themselves as I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Overall the program was good. Most of the learning was blended, all of the lectures and workshops were recorded so it was useful if we missed any lectures. I wish there were more labs, after covid spaces were limited thus there were few labs going. career opportunities after graduation should be focused on.

Biomed content is interesting. Labs are good – but not that many – this is not a super practical course. The quality of teaching is okay but not excellent. Communication between staff & students could be better.

University life is very different compared to school or college as you have to be more independent in what you do. The university that I chose is very supportive in all terms from academics to personal needs. My experience so far has been great even in the pandemic the fantastic platform that QMUL offered was a great hit to me. I really enjoyed learning using a variety of ways and not just listening to a lot of information from the lecturers. It was very interesting to use things like quizlets, and Kahoot platforms to enhance my knowledge and really build upon the skills that will help me achieve my goals. The course was set out very well with clear instructions for each module and I would really recommend it to people as it has been the best two years for me.

The professors for biomed and admin staff are very good, handle everything on time and deliver good quality teaching. The facilities are good too and it is the only campus based university in London so all your classes and accommodation are in the same place which is very convenient. Good social life and academics.

The university has a great sense of community, the staff is very helpful and intellectual. The students receive constructive feedback with their work. The food places on the campus are great too. Overall, i had an amazing three years.
