Our community

No matter your background, where you’re from or where you going to, there could be a place for you at Queen Mary.

Our mission is to be the most inclusive university of its kind anywhere and to open the doors of opportunity to everyone who has the potential to succeed, irrespective of their background.

We are incredibly proud of, and cherish, the diversity and quality of our student and our staff communities. We know from experience that diversity is a potent catalyst for ground-breaking ideas: in conversations in corridors snatched between lectures; when science and the humanities work together; and between students who grew up round the corner and those from the other side of the world. We will continue to embrace and enhance this diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do in the firm belief that when different views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes place.
— Colin Bailey – President and Principal at Queen Mary University of London

Join lots of societies – it’s the best way to meet people from all different courses and year groups with similar interests to you.
