Read More Queen Mary University of London is a leading research-intensive university with a difference – one that opens the doors of opportunity to anyone with the potential to succeed. Its history dates back to 1785 and beyond, with each of its four founding institutions established to provide “hope and opportunity” to under-represented members of society. Today, Queen Mary is a global university that remains true to the vision of its founders, committed to improving lives locally, nationally and internationally. With staff and students from over 170 nationalities on its London campuses alone, it is one of the most diverse higher education institutions in the world, and one whose undergraduate student profile is distinctive for a Russell Group University. More than 90 per cent of home students come from state schools, 75 per cent are black, Asian and minority ethnic and nearly 50 per cent are the first in their family into university. Queen Mary has been ranked joint 7th in the UK for the quality of its research, with 92 per cent of its research assessed as internationally excellent or world-leading (REF 2021). It has nine Nobel Prize winners among its former staff and students.  Search ‘Queen Mary Research Highways’ to explore more research. In 2022, Queen Mary won the ‘University of the Year’ award at the sixth annual UK Social Mobility Awards. This follows a 2021 report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies in partnership with the Sutton Trust and UK Government’s Department of Education that named the University as the best university for social mobility in the country, and the 2021 Sunday Times Good University Guide which noted that “Queen Mary continues to prove that social inclusion and academic success are not mutually exclusive.” Queen Mary is embedded in the heart of London with campuses in Mile End, Whitechapel, Lincoln’s Inn Field, West Smithfield, Charterhouse Square and Ilford. It also has a presence in Malta, Paris, Singapore and China. Regarding public engagement, Queen Mary was the first UK university to receive the Gold Watermark (in 2016) and the Platinum Watermark (in 2021) from the UK’s National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement.
