As a postgraduate student, you will have access to specialist teaching and research facilities, working alongside established researchers in your chosen field.
A brand new £39m Graduate Centre opened in early 2017 at our Mile End campus and provides excellent teaching and learning spaces for all postgraduate students including an exclusive rooftop common room. In addition, our G.E. Fogg building, the home of our biosciences and psychology students, recently underwent a £4.5 million refurbishment.
You will be taught in our newly refurbished lecture theatres and can make use of our modern computer labs for your studies. Within the Department of Biological and Experimental Psychology at Queen Mary’s Mile End campus you will have access to an Electroencephalography (EEG) lab, a purpose-built facility designed for the use of researchers exploring cortical brain potentials and cognition. Then there’s the Behavioural Lab, where computer-based experiments are run using psychological software tools such as E-Prime 2.0 and Psychtoolbox for Matlab. You will also have access to the large medical and dental archives at the Royal London and at Barts which may come in use for your research project.
When it comes to study space, you’ll have plenty of options – Queen Mary has three libraries across its four London campuses. The largest is located at Mile End, where you’ll be based the majority of the time, and is open 24/7 during the academic year. The Mile End library has a mix of group study and individual study areas, as well as PC rooms and contemplation spaces. It offers a range of services, including free laptop loans and secure charging boxes. In addition to this you can make use of Think Pod – an interactive collaboration space with presentation, recording and video conferencing facilities.
