World class

Queen Mary, University of London attracts some of the brightest minds from across the country and the world and recent successes in several important league tables confirm our place among the global elite.

The Times Higher Education World Rankings (2011) places Queen Mary:

17th in the UK

127th in the world

In the last national Research Assessment Exercise (2008), Queen Mary ranked 11th in the country (The Guardian) and 1st for several subjects, placing us above a number of Russell Group universities including King's College London, Bristol, Southampton, Leeds and Sheffield. Described as 'the biggest star among the research-intensive institutions' by The Times Higher Education Supplement, Queen Mary is proud of its strong tradition of academic research and passing this research onto our students through high quality teaching.

Top employers recognise the quality of a University of London degree from Queen Mary, so our graduates stand out from the crowd. Our graduates are consistently in the top 10 for graduate starting salaries in the UK (The Sunday Times University Guide 2012).
