Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) Rankings 2026

• Getting a full-time job is a difficult thing to get in today's time. Talking about numbers, then, landing a full-time job within 6 months of completion of your degree, only 20-25% of students land a full-time job; I'm not exactly sure about the numbers. The average salary is expected around 35000 gbp.
• Most all students apply on different job portals like linkedin, indeed, glassdoor etc. Lowest salary offered may be around 25000 gbp and the highest salary depends on the experience and skills set.

• I used to stay off campus. I came to know about my accommodation through an online portal. My accommodation was in a central London zone. Challenges faced in my accommodation were sometimes the noise. But overall, the accommodation was a solid 4/5.
• The staff was helpful; the study area, the lawn and the courtyard – everything was up to date. The laundry area was always clean. Even the common area and lobby used to be very happening.

• I think 50% of the batch secures the job within 6 months and approximately 90% in 3 years of graduation. The average salary range starts from 26000 GBP per year. Students find jobs in all kinds of ways where there is a will, there is a way. I know people who got a job as soon as they applied, and I know people who were ready to leave and book their one-way ticket back home but got a job offer last minute. You can apply for jobs through the university portal, target jobs, LinkedIn, and Indeed.

• Only 50% of the students land job in the first 6 months as there is a lot of competition so things take time for a fresher student.
• 30k pounds to 50k pounds is the average salary per ctc, online job portals are the most common way to land a dream job.

• My accommodation was off campus and i found it through university living which is a service provider to find and book accommodations to students according to there needs and requirements, My monthly rent was 1250 pounds which included of daily breakfast, 24hrs beverages, Study and playing room, Every once a week room service, A bicycle from there side and a gym membership with a personal led tv.

• My challenge was to find a good accommodation at a worthy rate cause i got late in finding accommodation and almost all of them were sold out so will suggest to book accommodation as soon as possible or else you will end up paying more than it should have been.

• My university was 40 mins away from my accommodation. and Indian students stay across whole city and no particular place mostly everyone prefers it at walking distance to the university.

• Only one of my classmates got employed but she had to go back to Italy where she is working for PWC as AI Manager, two other students including myself are currently under employed meaning we are working for a start up on stipend basis.
• There are lots of online websites that help find jobs after graduation, the famous one being LinkedIn. Not many of the students are placed as the university doesn't have many placement programs.
   

• I managed to find an accommodation outside the campus, I lived in an apartment in Stratford and the rent was 750 pounds for a shared room which included all the bills and had maid that would come in every month for a deep cleaning.
• The agency was called Cemlux Homes.
• The accommodation was top notch, but finding it was very difficult the accommodation for international students is really bad in the UK as it requires a UK guarantor which can be a really hard process.
   

• In our batch, most people came for experience, and only 40% of them applied for jobs, and 25% of them received jobs. Most students got placed within London and also this was the time when London had the worst job market and most of them received jobs through the help of the university website where we could apply for jobs.
• The salary was a pretty base level, around 25-30k/ annum based on the experience most students had 2-3 years of experience. Also we had interview training and how to write job applications at the university you just have to go to the student council and they'll explain it to you. If not full-time you'll surely receive a part-time.

• I went through agents and online platforms but most agents are helpful, one should be careful while checking for accommodation online. I saw a lot of people getting scammed online in London and it's usually a bit tough so; I would highly recommend everyone to grab university accommodation as it's first come first serve and the accommodation inside is nice so go ahead with it.
• If looking for off-campus, there are two accommodations right out, which are good as well.

• I cannot speak on the percentage of placement for my batch. Only one of my acquaintance were able to secure a job and that too cause he had previous work ex in India of about 4 years.
• Students can earn around £20,000-35,000 per year after they graduate depending the course and their work experience.
• Common methods to find jobs - Networking and Online applications. My friends from the course are back in India, most of us weren't able to find jobs.
• Leading companies include - PWC, Bank of New York, Goldman Sachs, etc.

• I found my accommodation online - IQ Student Accommodation. The name of my building was IQ East Court. It is situated right opposite to my University and is a very convenient location.
• The rent was €1200 per month which included one studio room with kitchen and bathroom (private). Addition were a lounge room, cinema room and a gym - all free of cost. It was pretty easy to book it and everything was done online. It is secure and easy.
• Indians mostly live in private housing or University accommodation which is cheaper but doesn't has much private space.

For my course, the entry-level salary starts from 22,000 pounds per annum and goes up to 32,000 pounds. Many students go further to do PHDs as well as the university provides opportunities for the same.

I primarily chose Queen Mary University due to its research-oriented approach towards academics. I had an eagle eye on the curriculum for my specific course and the teaching methodology they employed. It is also a Russell group university which gives it prestige. I chose the UK as it is the best for my course- English Literature, specifically London, as it is the city for arts and writing. In conclusion, it was a great experience and taught me a plethora of things besides academics.

There are no placements hosted by the university itself, you have to find a job on your own however you can get help with designing your CV according to UK standards and also help as there are career counselors provided.

I chose this university because the fees were not that high, and it ranked in the top 50 in the world, hence I went for this university. I also reached out to past graduates, they described it as a good university of finance as well and hence I went for it.

They don't have any placements but you can always ask around and learn more from your professors.

Overall, it was a good experience but since there was less awareness from the university I struggled to know services that could have made my experience more worthwhile.

There is no help from the university for placement although the university does have the careers department which can provide help with the CV & cover letter. Rest, we need to reach out to the recruiters.

I chose Queen Mary University of London because it provides one of the best course structures for Intellectual Property Rights and all the renowned professors taught in this university. I overall really liked my experience at this university, which was really great in terms of academics as LLM is more inclined towards academia and it fulfilled all the criteria of developing a deeper understanding of the subject and developing my own dissertation and also because all my professors were very helpful. I chose this particular program ( Intellectual Property Rights) because most of my interests have been carved around IPR through my internships and publications and I further want to pursue PhD in this subject thus I was inclined to choose this subject.
