IFSA - Queen Mary, University of London
  London, England

WHY STUDY IN CITY?
London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and one of the most popular study abroad destinations. A sophisticated city with endless cultural, historic, artistic, political, and intellectual offerings, it’s also home to many universities scattered throughout different neighborhoods. London’s excellent public transportation system will take you easily from your housing to classes and anywhere else you want to go. The city’s train stations, bus networks, and airports make traveling throughout the UK and Europe a snap.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Queen Mary, University of London is one of the UK’s leading research-focused universities, and one of the largest University of London colleges. Its flexible system allows you to choose classes from different academic departments across the university. 

IFSA students in this program live and learn at the fully integrated campus at Mile End, part of London’s historic East End district. Campus is surrounded by vibrant neighborhoods, including Brick Lane and Shoreditch, which are both fashionable and rich in history. Two underground stations, Mile End and Stepney Green, provide quick, easy access to the city.  

With a student body of more than 33,000 that includes 2,800 from outside the UK, Queen Mary is known for a strong sense of community and a commitment to academic success. High-caliber academics include strong business and science programs. Rare on-campus housing and 300+ clubs make it easy to join in at the Russell Group’s most inclusive university. 

Before class, grab one of London’s best bagels, first sold in the East End by Jewish immigrants in the 1880s. Later, look for vintage finds at Brick Lane shops, unwind at Victoria Park, or scramble on 16K square feet of vertical at Mile End Climbing Wall. 

Your program also includes IFSA excursions and activities (no extra fees) that give you insights tourists often miss. Possibilities include a West End theater performance, a session in the famous The Great British Bake Off tent, and exploring below ground with a former coal miner in Wales.
