Learn More →University Overview
Queen Mary University of London is a research-intensive public university and a member of the Russell Group. Its history dates back to 1785 and the founding of The London Hospital Medical College, England's first official medical school, and the modern university grew from the great charitable institutions of London's East End. Teaching takes place across five campuses in London, with the principal campuses at Mile End and Whitechapel in the East End, a self-contained setting with its own shops, sports facilities and residences close to the city.
More than 32,000 students from over 170 nationalities study at Queen Mary, and around 46 per cent come from overseas. Academic strengths span the humanities and social sciences, science and engineering, and medicine and dentistry. The university performed strongly in the Research Excellence Framework 2021 and holds a Silver rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework 2023. It is also known for one of the most diverse student communities in the UK and a strong commitment to widening access, with a high proportion of home undergraduates who are the first in their family to attend university.
Information for International Students
Queen Mary has one of the most internationally diverse student bodies in the UK, with students of more than 170 nationalities. The Advice and Counselling Service provides specialist immigration advice, guidance on Student visas and practical information on travelling to and arriving in the UK.
English language requirements are set by each school and vary by programme; many courses typically ask for IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 overall, with higher levels for medicine and dentistry. Students slightly below the required level may take a Pre-sessional English course of 5, 9 or 13 weeks.
The university runs its own pathway programmes, taught on campus by Queen Mary academics: an International Foundation Year with routes in humanities and social sciences and in science and engineering, and a Pre-Masters Programme at Mile End. Integrated foundation years are also available within some four-year degrees. External routes include Kaplan International College London, NCUK study centres worldwide and OnCampus London at Birkbeck.
First-year undergraduate and foundation students who meet the published criteria are guaranteed accommodation, as are eligible pre-master's students. East London locations offer direct Underground links to central London, and eligible graduates may apply for the Graduate Route.

Frequently Asked Questions
UK universities typically require international students who are under 18 when they enrol to have a UK-based nominated guardian in place. The guardian acts on behalf of the parents while the student is a minor, serving as the university's point of contact in an emergency, supporting the student's welfare and providing a trusted adult close by. British Guardianship provides this as a fully accredited university guardianship service.
We have guardians available and ready to be assigned. The overall timeframe depends on how quickly the required paperwork is completed and communication with Queen Mary University of London is finalised. As every case is different, timelines can vary, but we aim to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible.

No. Once your child turns 18, the nominated guardian requirement no longer applies and guardianship services are no longer needed. This is why our university guardianship is priced per term, so you only pay until your child's 18th birthday.
A UK student guardian must be a responsible adult, usually aged 25 or over, who lives permanently in the UK, speaks fluent English and is close enough to respond quickly in an emergency. The guardian must be contactable 24 hours a day, act as the university's emergency contact until the student turns 18, and hold an Enhanced DBS check where they or their household host the student. Queen Mary University of London may also ask for the guardian's details at enrolment and set additional requirements of its own. As an AEGIS-accredited guardianship provider, British Guardianship meets these requirements on your behalf, with vetted guardians, Enhanced DBS checked host families and 24-hour emergency support.
