(Investment and Finance MSc, 2008)
My choice for my master’s course was a very interesting one which I remain grateful for. I knew I was going to do a master’s degree after my ACCA as I was already living in London at the time, but I had no idea what course to pursue. I was looking more at Accounting related courses at the time because that was basically all I knew – Accounting! However, one of my final ACCA courses was heavily skewed towards finance/investment, and I found this very interesting. I immediately started looking out for courses with a mix of finance and investment.

(History and Film Studies BA, 2015)
I didn’t speak English particularly well when I came here... Queen Mary has given me the language skills and the courage to be confident in my everyday working life... My undergraduate studies were all about building foundations, pretty solid ones at that, to move forward and be able to follow my dreams. My degree truly opened up the world.

(English BA, 2016)
So much goes into the planning and laying out of a book that seeing it all come together beyond what you expected makes agonizing over the tiny details worth it ... the first book I worked on was advertised on the underground for a Christmas campaign and it was a really cool feeling to see it on my commute!

There have been people in every society and every period of history whose experiences of gender identity and sexual desire aren’t contained by the fixed categories our culture thinks of as ‘straight’ and ‘cisgender’. Queerness is a normal, natural and consistent part of human life. Acknowledging, celebrating and learning from that would benefit everybody in society.

Embarking on new research terrain and exploring new cutting-edge ideas was always a thrill, as was sharing such knowledge to peers and undergraduate students. These “Eureka” moments, particularly in the target language, are among my most cherished experiences during my PhD at Queen Mary.

(Pharmaceutical Chemistry BSc, 2019)
On my Instagram (@zniazniaznia) and my TikTok (ZahraScience), I’m passionate about producing “Clever Content” - content that will basically leave you a little smarter and more knowledgeable about our world... I make content on the science behind relatable topics in life such as dating, beauty and lots more. I really want others to see science as fun and relatable and not just a subject at school that you need to pass.
