(Development and International Business MSc, 2019)

Dilani Selvanathan – International Day of Persons with Disabilities testimonial. 29 November 2021
(Digital and Technology Solutions (Software Engineer) BSc, 2021)
Your disability doesn’t have to define you or stop you from doing anything you set your mind and heart to in life. I have chosen to embrace my disabilities as they make me unique, and I feel a greater sense of accomplishment when I do succeed as I know I have had to work that extra bit harder.

(History and Politics BA, 2000)
I am now privileged – I wasn’t born with it, I earned it – but it doesn’t matter how you get it, if you have it, it’s my belief that it’s your responsibility to use it to lift up others ... For every challenging period where you’re having to work evenings and weekends and giving up family time, out of the blue you might just get an email that says “you made a difference to me” and “thank you” which makes it worthwhile.

(English and Drama BA, 2016; English Literature MA, 2018)
One of the best things about studying in London, and specifically in the East End, is that I was studying with, and being taught by, a diverse group of people. East London has a rich history of migration and revolutionary resistance which makes it an exciting and inspiring place to live and explore.

(Pharmacology and Innovative Therapeutics BSc, 2020)
My degree was essential in understanding terminology and concepts relating to medicines and the effect they have within clinical settings. In pharmacology we delved deep into clinical trials and their design, which has come in handy when speaking with doctors about safety and efficacy.

(Law LLB, 2006)
Professor Nigel Spencer from Queen Mary, two other co-collaborators from outside Queen Mary, and I got together to make a podcast about legal careers. The whole idea is about diversity and democratising knowledge about the industry. We want an individual who doesn’t have a family member or family friend in Law to have as many insights into the profession as someone who does. We have episodes on different topics which might interest our listeners.
Alumni profile - David Pakozdi 22 November 2019
(Economics and Finance BSc, 2017)
I am from Budapest, Hungary, and I knew I wanted to work in an industry related to economics early on. London, as a location to study, seemed a natural choice because of its worldwide reputation as the ultimate financial capital of Europe and one of the most important global hubs. I also liked that despite being in London, Queen Mary has a proper campus with plenty of green spaces nearby.

Celebrating 50 years of Bangladeshi Independence - Alumni story 25 March 2021
Bangladesh 50 is an exhibition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the birth of Bangladesh. The exhibition will explore the impact of the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, and the experience of the Bangladeshi community, many of whom came to settle in Tower Hamlets. In this blog post, English alumna, Sabiya Khatun, talks about how getting involved with the exhibition as a Citizen Researcher resonated with the interests she was able to explore during her degree and why members of the Queen Mary community should go and see it.
