It is a unique place of world-leading research and education, and unparalleled diversity and inclusivity, that is embedded in the communities it serves. With over 170 nationalities represented on its London campuses alone, and a presence in China, Paris and Malta, Queen Mary is a truly global university. It is also the only campus-based Russell Group university in London. 

For the quality of its research, Queen Mary is ranked 24th in the world according to the THE World University Ranking 2024, and joint 7th in the UK according to the 2021 Research Excellence Framework (REF2021). In the latter, 92 per cent of Queen Mary research was assessed as internationally excellent or world-leading.

Throughout its history, Queen Mary has fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. The university continues to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it’s simply the right thing to do but for what it helpful us achieve. Its ethos is built on a simple belief: when we embrace diversity of thought, opinion and ideas, we can achieve the previously unthinkable and take the world to new places.
