Queen Mary University of London - London

I left the university after my first year and transferred to UCL due to experiencing repeated antisemitic slurs. Reporting the issue to university staff was completely ineffective—both in direct conversations and when they attempted to address my situation.

Another major issue was the frequent lecture cancellations, with at least two per month being called off. On top of that, the quality of teaching in the Economics department was shockingly poor. Many lecturers seemed unprepared, and none of the female lecturers could answer even the most basic questions, such as “What happens to inflation if interest rates increase?” As a paying student contributing £9,250 per year, this was an unacceptable experience.

In contrast, the student experience at UCL is significantly better. I struggle to understand how this institution holds its Russell Group status—it simply does not deserve it.

I'm not saying you shouldn't consider attending, but be mindful of your decision. University is a three-year investment, and for most people, there's no way to turn back the clock. Choose wisely.

Someone in one of the open day talks sat down for a one hour lecture on what the computer science department was like and what studying computer science and Queen Mary was like. And after that one hour, they asked what the admissions requirements are. Why were they there if they didn’t even check the website? Also someone else asked what contents they would be studying in year one and two, which is also on the website. Overall, this was not a good look for the computing department and for the quality of the students studying at the school. Terrible experience. Left a bad taste in my mouth. I’m not saying the university is bad or anything, I’ve never been there so I wouldn’t know, but the experience didn’t exactly inspire confidence. Thank you.

On another note, all of the buildings on the campus looked great, the pavement was very good, which was a relief because I was trying to walk in high heels, it all looked super modern, bathrooms were super clean, toilet paper was good. Lecture theater was very nice and the seating was super comfortable and relatively spacious, the architect deserves a raise and honestly, it was a very nice experience.

Graduation was successful, but there was no parking lots for guests .There is too much walking from a location to another , such as graduation area to photo shoots, etc, Overall, nice 👍

Spent the best three years of my life ❤️. I studied Biomedical Sciences and I subsequently started a PhD in AI in healthcare thanks to the connections, support and training offered by this university.
Qmul has excellent teaching staff and great facilities! A very nice campus! Really a great university!

One of 2 uni campuses within walking distance, feels quite homely, always full of students and staff walking around, good security and easy transport in the area to go further into or leave the city

Worst uni in london. Westminster and city are better. This uni they’re not about the students they’re all about shareholders and making money. A uni could be a business but should still have morals and ethics which this uni seems to lack unfortunately. Genuinely thought it was a good Russel uni but don’t be tricked. ITS ALL A SCAM

Update:
It’s a great uni but they love money still.
