Student review [#38670] for Comparative Literature
at Queen Mary University of London - QMUL

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.
