Queen Mary University of London is an exciting place with a unique atmosphere. It is known for being the most inclusive university from all the Russell Group universities.
From the moment you step onto campus, you can feel the buzz of passion from students which is even more potent when you reach your lectures and seminars. Everyone who is accepted into the university are like-minded individuals and I have found that the friends I have made are all encouraging towards each other to strive for the maximum potential. On top of this, the dedication from my professors on my Marketing and Management course are more than satisfactory as they set aside many out of hours sessions for students that I have taken upon myself to use many times when needing extra help. The professors help explain further in detail and even suggest readings to help expand knowledge greater.
It is unfortunate that the University however sees a lot of strikes meaning a lot of lectures and seminars are missed meaning independent learning is vital at this university. Although the ability to do independent learning is a characteristic all university students must carry, sometimes the interactive side of university is what keeps up the motivation.
Other than my experience with my course, my experience with university societies definitely enlighten my time here. There are so many different types of societies that hold so many events so you are never left lonely. On top of this, there are endless opportunities for internships, work experience and more as the university holds many events for students. Personally, I have found great opportunities at events like this.
Overall I recommend this university for anyone regardless of whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, there is something for everyone at Queen Mary.
