After graduating in 2010 (BSc Business Management) from QMUL and obtaining a First- class Master’s degree immediately afterwards, I returned to India to train under my father. In this short span of time, I now head one of India’s leading critical mineral mining companies with extended interests in infrastructure and renewable energy. During my time at QMUL, I was able to obtain, not only a world-class theoretical education but also enhanced my learning with a strongly applied approach which the course imbibed. The true value, in my opinion rested in the most distinguished faculty which designed and taught the course. Although the course was challenging, as it should be at a Russell league school, immense help and support was available at all times.
Whilst studying, I also had an opportunity to work with the University for a year. My role allowed me to interact with several departments in a varied capacity. This helped me understand the underlying ethos of our university which I can shortly summarize as ‘if you do what is expected of you, the reward is always more than you expect.’ Other than the excellent infrastructure, the proximity to Central London and convenient transport links always provide an edge over other locations during professional pursuits. Therefore, if one seeks a unique and career enhancing educational pursuit, QMUL is always my foremost recommendation.

"Travelling (study abroad!) - It leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller." - Ibn Battuta

Hi, I am Shadaan. I graduated from Queen Mary with a Master of Laws degree in 2011. I served as the elected course representative for postgraduate law courses for the year 2010-11 and also as a member in the Queen Mary cricket team.

My experience at Queen Mary was truly awesome. Queen Mary is a vibrant, cosmopolitan and exciting place to study. It offers an opportunity to enjoy the amazing London atmosphere while affording a satisfying education experience through outstanding research facilities. It has an excellent self contained campus, which not many London universities can boast off. I had wonderful professors who were passionate about the course and were very helpful and supportive throughout.

Besides developing my legal skills, Queen Mary has contributed enormously in improving me as a person and giving me the opportunity to make new friends from around the world. With my past work experience and equipped with a master’s degree from Queen Mary, it was easy for me to secure a job as a Senior Associate with a leading national law firm in India. Recently, I have been promoted to partner position within the same law firm.

Please feel free to contact me should you wish to learn more about Queen Mary and/or living in London.

My experience at the Queen Mary University of London surpassed all my expectations. Right from the landing at the airport, their members were so amicable and helpful. All their services and events were well coordinated and informative. The faculty have been extremely supporting not just in the matters of academic progression, but also in encouraging each of their students' personal growth.

While I truly believe Queen Mary University, regardless of the program or course, is an excellent choice for a student to pursue their education, my experience in the city of London was overall enlightening, besotting and so much more.

From the outset, down to the final adieu, the city has been very kind to me. From the warmth of the people to the well-rounded city lifestyle and the numerous opportunities it has in store, London leaves you with a sense of belonging; a journey that will remain cherished for all times to come.

Debjyoti Chakravorty
MSc Banking & Finance

After completing my undergraduate degree in Accounting and Finance from St. Xavier’s College (Autonomous), Kolkata, I decided to pursue Master’s degree in Finance from the prestigious University of London. The MSc Banking & Finance programme of Queen Mary, University of London was highly numerate and challenging and gave me a comprehensive grasp in areas such as corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions (M&A), commercial and investment banking, investment analysis and financial derivatives. I had the privilege of being taught by professors who were not only experts in their respective fields, but also excellent mentors and gave us practical insights into Finance by applying theory to real world scenarios. I graduated from the University in 2014 with an overall Distinction.

I realized the importance of my Master’s degree from UK in terms of the opportunities it opened up for me in the financial services and banking sector of India. Within three months after returning from the UK, I received an offer to work for PricewaterhouseCoopers Service Delivery Center (Kolkata) Private Limited in the ‘Deals and Consulting’ (Advisory) team. Currently I am working in the ‘Finance Transformation’ team under ‘Strategy & Operations’ Consulting division of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu India LLP in Gurgaon (Delhi NCR) and it has been nearly five months here.

My experience of studying Master’s at QMUL was thoroughly enriching. I was a part of world class education in multi-cultural classrooms and taught by the most talented faculty. I also made friends from various countries across the globe, with who I am regularly in contact. I would highly recommend you to study for a postgraduate degree from the School of Economics and Finance of QMUL if you are thinking about studying in London.

Dharshan Baskar (MSc. Management, India)
CEO at Padayappa Soap Company
Vice – Chairman at Red Cross Society

Having an MSc. Management from Queen Mary University of London has helped me in ways unimaginable. Being just 22 years old, driving a Tank, meeting Al Pacino, having worked with Alfred Buller (UK’s largest construction site owner – Priors Hall), having a Pizza named after me as “Dharshan’ s Bollywood pizza in Toulouse, France”, winning the “outstanding achiever award of the year” and having travelled to 7 countries in 2015, it sure had been a good year in the UK. My MSc. Management degree gave me a lot more experience on the side that has helped shape me the person I am today.

The prospect of understanding today’s complex business environment excited me to understand its dynamics and real potential. Hence I had chosen to study at the Queen Mary, as I believed that was my path to success. Once I had done my masters. I brought with me a unique blend of good communication and analytical skills, an ability to deal with people, dedication, hard work and a creative mindset to adapt to various situations. Being from a family who’s line of business has been Manufacturing FMCG products and Creating Real Estate townships, I can say that people around me saw notable difference with my work at the same businesses.

Apart from just the firm having developed in a distinct manner, I have even been chosen as the “Pride of the Month” for the Provoke Magazine with a 6-page article to talk about the business that I had done and the changes I got along with it. Also, added to the work, I actively have been volunteering for Red Cross Society and I hold the position of the Vice- Chairman for Red Cross in Tamil Nadu, India.

London is an astonishing place. It is one of the world’s most remarkable and exciting cities and has so much history and culture. It offers everything a student could want: education, enjoyment, traditional food and if ever you feel lonely, there is always a part of London that is home to large number of people from your country, ‘a home away from home’.

After completing my BDS I opted for a Masters in Dental Public Health. From day one it was my dream to join Queen Mary because of its attractive course content, the brand value of the university & the infrastructure available for the students. Living and studying here has enabled me to gain more than just a qualification. Being part of an international course, I have studied alongside people from across the world, shared experiences & widened my perspective on public health.
