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.
