QM’s International Exchange Programme

The international exchange programme enables eligible students from QM to spend a year or the autumn semester at one of our partner institutions. The academic work you complete abroad will be credited towards your QM degree. If you are interested in finding out more about the programme and our partners, and whether you are eligible to apply, visit the website.

Your degree award from Queen Mary University of London

From 1 August 2013, Queen Mary University of London started awarding our own degrees to undergraduate and postgraduate students – previously we awarded University of London degrees. The Principal of Queen Mary, Professor Simon Gaskell, wrote to all students today, (Wednesday 7 August) with further information about the changes.

The degree will still say University of London on the certificate, but the difference is that will also say Queen Mary on it as well. This change will not affect any arrangements with employers, sponsors or funders. We expect to start awarding the first Queen Mary University of London degrees in 2014. Find out more about the changes, and what it means for you.
