I have thoroughly enjoyed my Master's at Queen Mary. After completing my undergraduate degree here, it was really lovely to be welcomed back and participate in fascinating, eye-opening modules that you truly would not be able to find elsewhere. My module convenors have been so attentive, engaging, and brought their subjects to life, and I’ve learned so much. I’m exceptionally grateful to have been taught by them, they’re all so knowledgeable and passionate about what they teach.— Megan Coles, MA History, 2025
