Throughout our history, we have fostered social justice and improved lives through academic excellence. And we continue to live and breathe this spirit today, not because it is simply ‘the right thing to do’ but for what it helps us achieve and the intellectual brilliance it delivers.
Our reformer heritage informs our conviction that great ideas can and should come from anywhere.
It is an approach that has brought results across the globe, from the communities of east London to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro.
We continue to embrace diversity of thought and opinion in everything we do, in the belief that when views collide, disciplines interact, and perspectives intersect, truly original thought takes form.
Queen Mary University of London, UK
Queen Mary has a long, proud and distinctive history built on four historic institutions stretching back to 1785 and beyond.
Our founding institutions are: St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical College, London Hospital Medical College, Westfield College and Queen Mary College.
All four institutions were founded to improve the lives of people with less privilege. St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical College and The London Hospital Medical College were established to improve the health of the local communities in the City and east London. Westfield College and Queen Mary College provided education to women and working-class communities in the East End, respectively, at a time when these groups faced extreme barriers to education.
Queen Mary University of London, Malta Campus
In addition to the home campuses in London, now operates from its own state-of-the-art, custom-built campus in Gozo, Malta. In 2017, QMUL and the Barts School of Medicine and Dentistry launched a 5-year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme from Malta.
Our Malta Campus is proof of our determination to be at the forefront of medical education. Malta, like the UK, has a proud history of expert healthcare, continuing through to the present day. Our Queen Mary, Malta Campus has the honour of being the first-ever medical school located on Gozo, a sister island of Malta.
