Our students and alumni

Queen Mary University because it offered the perfect opportunity to transition from my background in the arts to pursuing Computer Science at Master’s level and following my interest in a tech career. Even coming from a different academic background, I’ve felt welcomed and encouraged to explore new subjects, met people from all over the world, and grown both academically and personally.

''I am currently working as a software engineer in the airline and travel industry, where I am responsible for writing code and scripts, as well as working with AWS to identify and resolve bugs. I can confidently say that my MSc publication and the modules I completed at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) played a crucial role in helping me master these technologies. The hands-on experience, in-depth understanding of key concepts, and valuable exposure to teamwork and industry practices at QMUL have been essential to my professional growth.''

— Uttkarsh Raj , Software Engineer at ATPCO, MSc Advanced Computer Science, 2022

QMUL offers a great balance between theory and hands-on learning, and being part of a Russell Group university in London also meant exposure to industry, research, and diverse perspectives. I actively engage with tech and AI-focused events, talks, and workshops organised by the university and external organisations.

"I found Big Data Science to be the perfect programme for me. I had previously studied Economics and Finance and was hoping to learn coding. The course was comprehensive, with various modules pertaining to machine learning and big data to choose from. What I liked the most about the course was the excellent student community as well as the course content itself. I enjoyed learning more about programming from my coursemates, who had vastly different academic backgrounds from mine."

"My initial appreciation of research stemmed from my BSc Computer Science (also at QM) Final Year Project, where, supervised by Dr Mustafa Bozkurt, I worked on a very personal project creating an app for people with disabilities to navigate transport networks. From this experience, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in research, and this programme provided a unique mix of taught modules to continue to develop my computer science skills, and a larger research project through which to apply these skills and techniques to a real-world problem."
