Queen Mary University of London is an exempt charity under the Charities Act 2011. This means that we do not register directly with the Charity Commission and our principal regulator is instead the Office for Students, although we have many of the same legal obligations as other charities. The Council acts as the board of trustees of the charity and its members have the responsibilities that go with trustee status.
The University is established by a Royal Charter [PDF 49KB]. Our objects are ‘to promote, for the public benefit, education, research and scholarship and, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, for that purpose to provide courses and instruction leading to degrees and other academic awards of the University of London and/or the University and to promote and undertake research, and to disseminate the results of such research’.
Our address for correspondence is:
Queen Mary University of London
Mile End Road
London E1 4NS
We report annually on public benefit in the Financial Statements.
