Amazing facilities and support from the teaching staff

The teaching style is engaging and encouraging. There are loads of extra resources and facilities available for extra help.

The rooms are spacious and the desk space is very generous. However, the Wi-Fi can be spotty on the occasion.

The course uses mixed-media (online and offline lectures) for almost all the modules. Each week during the semester has about 12-hours of lectures and seminars only. So it leaves a lot of room to prepare for coursework assessments/exams and part-time jobs. While the course is taught by highly published academics, sometimes it feels that there’s too much stress on the theoretical aspects rather than the practical / real-world experiences. But when you realise that this degree is a stepping stone to PhD, it makes sense.

during our first year it was a mixture of online and in class learning both of my experience were enjoyable . It was very easy to contact the lecturers

Great contact hours and clinical skills - good mix of workshops, lectures and placements

Lecturers are approachable and there is a lot of content to cover

My classes are all taught on campus, which means I’ve been able to get the most out of them. My seminar tutors also provide extra support by having office hours, which can be booked online and be held either on campus or via Microsoft teams. I really like the fact that I’ve had the freedom to pick the modules I want to do during second and third year because it has enabled me to learn about the subjects I’m interested in most. My favourite selected module has been the politics of international law because I was able to learn about how the international system works. I had a very different idea of how it functioned prior to studying this module. The teaching quality has been great despite the occurrence of strikes. My professors were good at rearranging times for classes to ensure that all content is covered. At times where it was less possible to go over a topic in person, professors made sure that content was recorded and uploaded online, and that assessments were altered to make grades more fair to the circumstances we were faced with. The careers team has done a great job at keeping us up to date with internship and work opportunities. I get sent emails a few times per month with any new opportunities that come up, as well as information about deadlines and how to apply. The politics department has also given us students the opportunity to apply for various research projects, which I think is amazing. You wouldn’t think an ordinary undergraduate student would be able to work with a professor on a real research project that would get published. I also believe the facilities provided were good. This is because there’s been times where I’ve found readings that I couldn’t access and my professors done a great job of listening and speaking to the library to purchase those books/journal articles.

The diversity is by far my favourite thing about Queen Mary’s location. There are so many national and international students from many different backgrounds. It makes the environment feel more comfortable and welcome because everyone respects each other and where they come from. Furthermore, the university has a security team, which makes the area feel safe. Public transport is also good in the area. There are two nearby stations: Mile End Station and Stepney Green station. This gives students good accessibility to the campus. There are not only part-time work opportunities in Mile End but also on the Queen Mary campus itself. The campus has a grocery store and a range of coffee shops in which students can work. It’s definitely much nicer to have part time work in an environment where you’re surrounded by students like you.

dental hospital facilities excellent

not the safest area and old building

Course is okay and tutors are generally helpful. Would be better to sort qm plus and make it modern and better. It’s just difficult to navigate like this.
