Throughout our history, social justice and equality have been central to our mission. From our origins in four historic institutions, including Westfield College, which promoted women’s education, St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical College, which gave medical treatment to London’s poor, and the People’s Palace, which brought education and recreation to the East End, social justice is in our DNA.
It continues to this day: our research helped to underpin the national campaign for a real Living Wage. In 2006, we became the first UK university to become a Living Wage employer. Queen Mary became a founding partner of the Living Wage Foundation in 2011, which continues to campaign for a Living Wage and recognises those employers who pay their staff a wage that meets the cost of living rather than the Government minimum. By 2014, the Living Wage initiative had lifted more than 120,000 employees and their families out of working poverty.
We also continue to seek out students from backgrounds that are currently under-represented at universities like ours.
