Queen Mary, University of London

Queenmary

Queen Mary is in the heart of London’s East End where students from all over the city come to enjoy the trendy pubs, bars, and clubs of neighboring Shoreditch and Hoxton Square. Nearby Brick Lane, famous for its curry houses, is home to unique second-hand clothing shops and popular clubs. The site of the 2012 London Olympic Village is just a few miles away and the college is a short walk to two Underground (Tube) stations, providing easy access to the social, cultural, historic and academic attractions of London. Queen Mary, University of London has an international reputation for quality, achievement and research success across its Faculties of Art,Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, Law and Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Medicine and Dentistry. The fully enclosed campus is based at Mile End, about two miles from St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London. The main campus building dates from 1887, but the sixteen-acre site consists mainly of modern, purpose-built buildings which house the five faculties and administrative offices, and include the Great Hall, a new library, bank, bookshop, health center, student residences and the Student Union.
