Queen Mary University of London – QMUL (informally Queen Mary) is a public research university located in London, United Kingdom and a constituent college of the federal Queen Mary University of London – QMUL has roots dating back to 1785. The modern Queen Mary was formed from the merger of four historic colleges and since joining the University of London in 1915 has grown to become one of its largest colleges.
Queen Mary University of London – QMUL main campus is based in the Tower Hamlets area of central London, with other campuses located in Holborn, Smithfield and Whitechapel. It has around 16,000 full-time students and 3,000 academic staff and had a total income of £265 million in 2008/09, of which £64 million was from research grants and contracts. Queen Mary University of London – QMUL is organised into three faculties - the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Science and Engineering and the Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry - within which there are 21 academic departments and institutes.
Queen Mary University of London – QMUL origins lie in the mergers, over the years, of four older colleges: Queen Mary College, Westfield College, St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College and the London Hospital Medical College. In 1989 Queen Mary merged with Westfield College to form Queen Mary & Westfield College. Although teaching began at the London Hospital Medical College in 1785, it did not become part of Queen Mary until 1995. In that same year the two medical schools merged together to form the School of Medicine and Dentistry at Queen Mary & Westfield College, but Barts and The London has, to some extent, retained its own identity. In 2000, the college adopted its present title of Queen Mary University of London – QMUL, but the official legal title remains Queen Mary and Westfield College.
Queen Mary College was founded in the mid Victorian era when growing awareness of conditions in London's East End led to drives to provide facilities for local inhabitants, popularised in the 1882 novel All Sorts of Conditions of Men - An Impossible Story by Walter Besant, which told of how a rich and clever couple from Mayfair went to the East End to build a "Palace of Delight, with concert halls, reading rooms, picture galleries, art and designing schools." Although not directly responsible for the conception of the People's Palace, the novel did much to popularise it. The trustees of the Beaumont Trust, administering funds left by Barber Beaumont, purchased the site of the former Bancroft's School from the Drapers' Company. On 20 May 1885 the Drapers' Court of Assistants resolved to grant £20,000 "for the provision of the technical schools of the People's Palace." The foundation stone was laid on 28 June 1886 and on 14 May 1887 Queen Victoria opened the palace's Queen's Hall as well as laying the foundation stone for the technical schools in the palace's east wing.
The classes reached a peak of 8000 tickets in 1892–1893 but fell to less than half for the following year, due to competition from the London School Board, despite the Palace's classes being more advanced. With the level of teaching grew, in 1895 John Hatton, Director of Evening Classes (1892–1896; later Director of Studies 1896–1908 and Principal 1908–1933) proposed introducing a course of study leading to the Bachelor of Science degree of the University of London. By the turn of the century the first degrees were awarded and Hatton, along with several other Professors, were recognised as Teachers of the University of London. In 1906 an application for Parliamentary funds "for the aid of Educational Institutions engaged in work of a University nature", led to the College being told it was "of the highest importance that there should be a School of the Queen Mary University of London – QMUL in the faculties of Arts, Science and Engineering within easy reach of the very large population of the East End of London." The educational part of the People's Palace was admitted on an initial three year trial basis as a School of the University of London on 15 May 1907 as East London College. In 1910 the College's status in the Queen Mary University of London – QMUL was extended for a further five years, with unlimited membership achieved in May 1915. During this period the organisation of the governors of the People's Palace was rearranged, creating the separate People's Palace Committee and East London College Committee, both under the Palace Governors, as a sign of the growing separation of the two concepts within a single complex.
Continued uncertainty about the future of Westfield College led to its merger with Queen Mary in 1989 to form Queen Mary & Westfield College (often abbreviated to QMW). Over subsequent years, activities were concentrated on the Queen Mary site, with the Westfield site eventually sold off. A reorganisation of medical education within the Queen Mary University of London – QMUL resulted in most of the freestanding medical schools being merged with existing large colleges to form multi-faculty institutions. In 1995 the London Hospital Medical College and St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College merged together and into Queen Mary & Westfield College to form the entity now named Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. In 2000 the college changed its name for general public use to Queen Mary University of London – QMUL; however, the College's charter has not been reissued and its legal name remains Queen Mary & Westfield College.
In 2010 Queen Mary University of London – QMUL was ranked 147th in the QS World University Rankings, moving up 17 places from its position of 164th in the 2009 THE-QS World University Rankings (in 2010 Times Higher Education World University Rankings and QS World University Rankings parted ways to produce separate rankings—with the new 2010 Times Higher Education World University Rankings, Queen Mary now is ranked 120th in the World). As of 2010, Queen Mary, School of Law, is ranked 3rd nationally, 1st in London, by the Guardian University Guide 2011, only with universities of Oxford and Cambridge coming before it. The Shanghai Jiao Tong University's 2009 Academic Ranking of World Universities placed it in the 59 - 79 band in Europe and 152 - 200 globally, putting it level with University of Warwick, Durham University and St. Andrews. The 2007 CHE-Excellence Ranking, examining the academic performance of graduate programs in natural sciences, placed Queen Mary in the European top group for biology and physics. In addition, The Guardian Newspaper's League Tables placed Queen Mary 12th in the UK in 2005; it was placed 42nd by The Times; and 28th in 2006. Queen Mary University of London – QMUL has also been ranked the sixth best UK university for student employability — with the second highest UK graduate starting salary.
Queen Mary University of London – QMULoffers a groundbreaking joint degree programme with Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, one of China's top engineering universities. This was the first of its kind to be approved by the PRC Ministry of Education: it is taught 50% by each institution; in English; in Beijing; by staff who fly out from Queen Mary to teach its part of the programme; and the students receive two degrees, one from each university. The programmes are in Telecommunications and Management and Ecommerce Engineering and Law. Almost 2,000 students are studying on these programmes in 2009 and the first cohort graduated in the Summer of 2008. The joint programmes have been praised by the UK Quality Assurance Agency; the PRC Ministry of Education; and the UK Institution of Engineering and Technology.
