The friendly and welcoming atmosphere makes you feel 'at home' from day one... I really like that there
is a lot of interaction between undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students which is very inspiring and motivating.
"The friendly and welcoming atmosphere make you feel 'at home' from day one. I chose Queen Mary because it has an excellent national and international reputation. It is also ranked highly in the university league tables. The fact that I was offered a scholarship was icing on the cake!
"My course is very well-structured. You are constantly on your toes, learning one new thing after another and you get a lot of feedback in the form of coursework, projects and so on. The students also get a chance to pitch their opinions and suggestions about the functioning of the School.
"Emphasis is placed on innovation, creative thinking, and the application of knowledge rather than rote learning. The professors make a point of setting mentally stimulating coursework that lays the foundation for advanced topics. They are always willing to answer questions, whether in lectures or in their offices. Another thing that I really like is that there is a lot of interaction between undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students which is very inspiring and motivating.
"I have been at Queen Mary for only a year so far but I can say that this has been the best year of my life, both academically and personality-wise. I am much more confident and sure about myself. I feel motivated and charged to face my second year and hope to make the most of my time here."
