What our students say

Rahul Garg
MSc Management & Organisational Innovation 2009/10

Queen Mary offers a world class education with superior facilities in London. I chose to study here because of its curriculum, reputation and location. My professors and the support staff at Queen Mary have made life in London easy.

Dr Jasleen Kaur
MSc Dental Public Health

London is an astonishing place. It is one of the world’s most remarkable and exciting cities and has so much history and culture. It offers everything a student could want: education, enjoyment, traditional food and if ever you feel lonely, there is always a part of London that is home to large number of people from your country, ‘a home away from home’.

After completing my BDS I opted for  a Masters in Dental Public Health. From day one it was my dream to join Queen Mary because of its attractive course content, the brand value of the university & the infrastructure available for the students. Living and studying here has enabled me to gain more than just a qualification. Being part of an international course, I have studied alongside people from across the world, shared experiences & widened my perspective on public health.
