Originally founded in 1785 as the London Medical College (one of England’s oldest medical schools), Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) was awarded University status in 1887. Today they offer over 200 degree programmes across several faculties: Humanities and Social Sciences, Science and Engineering, and Medicine and Dentistry (Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry with specialist departments in cardiology, infectious diseases and surgery). A member of the Russell Group, QMUL holds a strong reputation in the UK, while international rankings consistently place the University in the top 150 globally. Most notable within the UK ranking metrics is the strong performance against graduate starting salaries.
