Queen Mary University of London - QMUL
speciality: English Language & Literature

I enjoy attending this university. I have always found the support and admin to be great and have always felt safe and comfortable here. I would say that there could be more terms of teaching quality and overall campus facilities but in general I find that I utilise what is there effectively and I am pretty happy with the resources. My particular programme tends to strike a lot, meaning that a lot of valuable contact hours is missed but I stand in solidarity with the faculty and only blame the wider university executives for the disruption to my studies.

I enjoyed learning at university, the classroom experience was great as I felt comfortable enough to share my thoughts and ideas with the seminar leader and the rest of the class. I further had a lot of support from my tutors which made assignment deadlines easier to complete. This was particularly important during the pandemic as resources were limited.

I began university just before covid hit but even before lockdown was in force and classes moved online, there were many many strikes which was extremely disruptive to learning. I don’t know any other universities that had as many strikes as Queen Mary did. At one point I didn’t have any classes of a particular module for 6 weeks because my lecturer was on strike. I don’t blame my lecturers for striking, the university should know how to better handle themselves in situations like these and give their employees the proper pay and working conditions.

In terms of the modules I had, they were great. I really enjoyed the content that was being taught but again these were disrupted due to the strike action. The Queen Mary campus is very nice, there are lots of facilities including things like a multi-faith prayer room. I made new friends which made the uni experience much more enjoyable.

Lecturers going on strike is very disruptive and is negatively impacting overall degree. The diversity of culture and social aspect is very good. Facilities provided and access to library is very good

I believe that Queen Mary is incredibly diverse and I feel as if they tackle issues when it comes to diversity and issues. However, I am not too sure how other students and schools feel about this considering the recent events regarding the vandalism.

I think Queen Mary is a great university. The campus itself has great potential to be beautiful, if it could deal with litter and maintenance problems marginally better. The academics of the uni are good, they aren’t the best for undergraduate but my department is really on point. The student body is really diverse and I think the uni should really structure a way to integrate all students.
