Queen Mary Vibes

You're in your Queen Mary era. And you're feeling the Queen Mary vibes. Share your moments with us so we can showcase your experience of life at Queen Mary. 

Each month, we want to celebrate what makes Queen Mary unique: our people, our campuses, our research, our work in the local community. Simply send us your pics, videos, drawings, writing, soundbites etc – you can get creative! 

Each month from November 2023 to May 2024 you could win a £30 voucher of your choice from: Love2Shop, Deliveroo, Amazon or the Zero Waste Shop. You might also have your work featured on the @officialqmul account and shown on display screens around campus and in the student newsletter. 

To enter, simply email qmul-student@qmul.ac.uk with your own original work showcasing moments at Queen Mary along the themes below. 

Winners will be chosen by our Communications team and announced in the student newsletter.

March: We took a break over Easter

April: This month's theme is “Changes”. This great suggestion has been made by Muhammad Rahman, one of our very own Queen Mary students, and is described as an opportunity for our final year students to reflect on their time spent with us. The theme also allows our first year students to look back on their first experience of higher education, and what this has meant to them in an ever changing, post-Covid world. 

Congratulations to our April winner Mohammed Omar for his entry, 'The Last Year and the Ninth Wave':

Share with us your interpretation of “Gratitude” whether that is through a photo, video, poem, the options are endless, for a chance to win a £30 voucher of your choice (deadline to submit Friday 24 May)
