Here’s 7 reasons why Queen Mary University of London should be your first choice.
#1 Diversity: Not just a marketing buzzword but a genuine multicultural hub of students from diverse backgrounds:
- 92 per cent from state schools;
- 75 per cent BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic);
- 49 per cent first into higher education;
- 35 per cent from households where the annual taxable income is less than £20k,
qualifying them automatically for the most generous Queen Mary University of
London Bursary.

We support students from various backgrounds including LGBTQI+ people, people with disabilities and learning differences, neurodiverse people, Muslim students and those from the incredibly diverse community we are a part of in central London.
