Queen Mary University of London

The Queen Mary University of London, sometimes known simply as QM, is a public research university located in London, England. It is also an affiliated institution of the University of London, which is a federal university. It was established in 1785, the same year that the London Hospital Medical College was established. Queen Mary College, which was established in 1915 and was given its current name in honour of Mary of Teck, became a part of the University of London. In 1989, it amalgamated with Westfield College to create what is now known as Queen Mary and Westfield College. The School of Medicine and Dentistry was established in 1995 as a result of the merger of Queen Mary and Westfield College, St. Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College, and The London Hospital Medical College.
In addition to having a presence in China, France, Greece, and Malta on a global scale, Queen Mary University of London has five campuses located in East and Central London. These campuses are located in Mile End, Whitechapel, Charterhouse Square, Lincoln's Inn Fields, and West Smithfield. The Mile End campus of Queen Mary University of London is the most self-contained of all of the Russell Group universities that are located in London. During the 2018–19 academic year, the institution had around 26,000 students enrolled. There are three faculties at Queen Mary University: the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Science and Engineering, and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. Each faculty specialises in a certain area of study.
The Russell Group of British research institutions, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, and Universities UK are all organisations that Queen Mary University is a part of. In addition to being an important hub for medical education and research, Queen Mary is also a component of UCLPartners, the biggest academic health science centre in the world. The programmes that Royal Holloway used to operate at the University of London Institute in Paris are now managed by Queen Mary, which means that Queen Mary has taken over those responsibilities. Additionally, in order to provide its Global MBA programme, Queen Mary works in conjunction with the University of London. In the academic year 2020–21, Queen Mary reported a total revenue of £512.5 million, of which research grants and contracts contributed £114.7 million.
There have been many notable graduates from Queen Mary who have gone on to become prominent leaders in their respective fields, including politics, serving as heads of state, science, academia, law, history, business, technology, and diplomacy. Queen Mary has produced many notable alumni who have gone on to work or study in various fields around the world. There are nine Nobel Laureates that are graduates, current staff members, or previous staff members of Queen Mary. Peter Hain, a British politician, Professor Andrew Pollard, the chief investigator of the Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, and Ronald Ross, who discovered the origin of malaria as well as a cure for it, are among the notable alumni of the university. Davidson Nicol, who discovered the breakdown of insulin in the human body, also graduated from the university.
