Almost 45% of the international students that start degrees at Queen Mary, University of London have previous experience of studying in the UK. Usually this is through A Levels or International Baccalaureate, Foundation programmes, English Language courses or for some postgraduate students, their bachelor's degrees.
Our entry criteria for undergraduate programmes vary from degree to degree and range between BBB-A*AA (120–168 UCAS points – 2018 entry) for A Level and 26-38 points for IB. Most degrees have subject pre-requisites which can be found on the departmental pages of the website or in the undergraduate prospectus.
Queen Mary will consider all applications from students studying foundation programmes on an individual basis. We do have individual progression agreements in place with a number of foundation course providers, but no specific criteria that will apply to all institutions that offer international foundation programmes.

These qualifications must be equivalent to A-Level otherwise you may be asked to study a foundation programme before starting your undergraduate degree.

You will need to supplement your application with a 500-word research proposal; more information can be found on the postgraduate website and the departmental pages.The above list is for guidance only and is not conclusive.

Ahmed DelaliMSc Chemical Research
I graduated from Queen Mary, University of London with a Masters degree in Chemical Research.
Science has always interested me and I found the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary University a very satisfying place to study chemistry - my favourite subject. The modern building and the welcome environment made me more comfortable to use and learn about many research facilities in the department.
I am very thankful to my supervisor Dr Peter Wyatt from the Chemistry department. I have been very fortunate to have had a really talented chemistry teacher.
The friendly environment in the Chemistry department is very encouraging to progress and make you feel that you are member of the science family. I have had excellent opportunities to be exposed to research and laboratory-based environments throughout my academic years and my career as a Chemist. Through these experiences, not only have I equipped myself with research methods as well as problem-solving and analysing skills, I have also had a chance to expand a network with experts in relevant fields. I have also gained the understanding of the ethics and conduct rules in different laboratories in addition to the invaluable skills to manage, lead and collaborate effectively with people. These increasing experiences have built my confidence in working independently as Laboratory Assistant. I am currently working at Cambridge Education Group as a Laboratory Technician and Art.
