About us

Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is one of the UK's top research universities, ranked fifth for world-leading and internationally excellent research (REF 2014).

We are committed to providing our students with an education that is judged internationally to be of the highest quality, and which exploits innovations in teaching, learning and assessment.

We are an inclusive employer offering equal opportunities to candidates from all backgrounds and identities. We support our diverse staff and student population through delivery of our EDI Objectives & Strategy, including our commitment to Athena SWAN, the Race Equality Charter, and Stonewall WEI.

We are proud of our local community, with a culture of contributing to our local area through public engagement, research, volunteering, and partnerships.

Our staff deliver research that makes an impact and inspires our students. From the discovery of a new world, Proxima b, to the application of new cancer treatments; the shaping of international trade policies to the physics of music - our research influences public policy, improves health and social conditions, advances specialist knowledge, and informs cultural debate.

We have a strong reputation for disciplinary and multi-disciplinary excellence in the areas of medicine, science, engineering, humanities, social sciences and creative industries. Our three faculties, our Life Sciences Initiative, and our specialist research centres and institutes are supported by colleagues in Professional Services.

Queen Mary is good at commercialising innovations from our researchers, effectively translating our research for societal and economic impact. Spin-outs created with our academics during the past few years have seen remarkable success, including: Apatech, based on synthetic bone substitutes, sold in 2010 for ~£200m; hVIVO based in our bioincubator Queen Mary Bioenterprises with market value of ~£160m; and Actual Experience, with a market value of ~£100m.

We are committed to building an international presence through activities that transcend national boundaries and which allow us to engage with talented students and researchers at like-minded institutions in all parts of the world.

A word from our Principal and President, Professor Colin Bailey

"Universities are all about people; everyone has a role to play in pushing the boundaries of knowledge and providing excellent teaching and learning. This enables us, as an institution, to create opportunities for the next generation, tackle global challenges, contribute to cultural development and create social and economic benefits. Join us and help us continue the development of our great university."
