Our education approach

Our vision is to open the doors of opportunity. 

open doors

Queen Mary University of London's 2030 Strategy sets out our ambition to deliver "an outstanding, inclusive, world-class education and student experience, co-created with our diverse student body, enhanced by our world-leading research and latest technological developments”. 

We open the doors of opportunity for anyone who has the potential to succeed, supporting learners throughout their educational journey. 

Our education approach is built on four pillars of excellence to provide a rich learning experience which allows students to thrive. There are also five interrelated components:  

Excellence in student employability 

Excellence in education 

Excellence in engagement 

Excellence in learning environment 

Independent learning activities 

Large group activities 

'Learning by doing' sessions

Small student-directed study groups 

Co-curricular activities 

Be sure to listen to our podcast which discusses students' experiences with peer learning which fits in nicely with our education approach:

#QMReady podcast series

Produced as a collaboration between Academic Skills Enhancement and members of the Queen Mary Students' Union Executive Team, the #QMReady podcast series is designed to get you ready for the new academic year. 

Episode 6: Get Schooled

This episode focuses on students’ experiences with peer learning in each of Queen Mary’s three faculties. You’ll hear about using criticism to elevate performances in Drama, an astrophysics student's experience with the array of cultures at QM and how to keep cool under pressure from two medical students. We also learn about the great resources QM has to support peer learning.
