Hi there,I’m glad that you come to this site to find out about the Lead Country Alumni Ambassador for Vietnam.
My name is Nhi Hong Truong and I spent 4 years at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). I graduated in 2015 with a first-class honours degree in Pharmaceutical Chemistry.
To me, QMUL was the greatest memory during my 6 years of study in the UK. I made a decision to study at QMUL after my A-levels simply because this university was the only one on the list of 5 I’d chosen that was based in London and offered MSci degree rather than a MPharm. I was offered Science and Engineering Excellence scholarship. On the date of my interview with the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences, I was amazed by the size of QMUL campus and the big modern library.
I didn’t have a chance to stay in the accommodation on QMUL campus until the last semester of my final year. By the way, I think staying outside or on campus both have good points. QMUL campus is not too far from Zone 1 which is easy to travel to. QMUL hall that I stayed in was called Pooley House which was nicely built and had lovely surroundings.
During my time at QMUL, I found out that all centres/offices within QMUL provide great services to the students. When preparing documents to renew my student visa, the Advice and Couselling Centre staff were really helpful and made me feel less worried. I secured a part time job as a Teaching Assistant at the sixth form college in London thanks to the Careers and Enterprise Centre. Student Union always hosted academic or social events which were enjoyable and fun.Although in my course I was the only Vietnamese student, I never felt isolated. People here were friendly, from my supervisors, professors, classmates to lab assistants, PhD students. I had full support whenever I needed. The facilities in most buildings were good as well.
Apart from academic schedule, I also joined the Vietnamese Society at QMUL. This group was fantastic! We connected students from Vietnam and other nationalities here at QMUL. I was on the comittee board, we have organised many events and activities for Vietnamese students throughout the year both within QMUL and wider, expanding it to other universities in London and across the UK.
If you are considering QMUL, trust me... you will experience so many good things here. Please feel free to drop me an email at vn-alumni@qmul.ac.uk if you have any enquiries about student life/social life/accommodation or just about anything here at QMUL or in London.
Pursuing a career in law has always been my dream and QMUL is an ideal destination to attain that dream. I did my LL.M in Comparative and International Dispute Resolution on a scholarship basis. During the course, I had an opportunity to study in an international environment with lawyers, arbitrators and scholars from diverse jurisdictions. The time at QMUL has given me more than just legal knowledge. Through all the seminars, workshops and similar events organized by the school, I formed my own network which is of great importance in the legal industry.
The highlight of my year at QMUL was the time when I, along with three other members and two coaches, participated in the Frankfurt Investment Arbitration Moot Court on behalf of QMUL. We worked together for three months, met twice a week to discuss and practice oral advocacy, did pre-moots Geneva and won pre-moot in ICC-Paris, and finally got the ninth place in the official moot in Frankfurt. During the moot, we received huge support from our professors and the administrative team of the school. Not only did the moot bring me knowledge and skills, but also friends from different parts of the world to treasure for the rest of my life.
It is also worth mentioning the International Arbitration Charity Ball Scholarship which brought me to QMUL. Had it not been the Scholarship, I would not have had all these amazing experience. The Scholarship not only provided a tuition fee waiver, but also arranged several internships at some very prestigious law firms in London, which helped me understand the legal market here and lighted up my career path. I do think this is a great funding opportunity for those who are considering doing an LL.M at QMUL.
The last words would definitely be a big thank-you to Queen Mary School of Law, my professors and friends, and good luck to all the prospective students!
"The MSc Mathematical Finance equipped me with advanced knowledge and expertise necessary to succeed in the competitive financial world. I joined a large US financial institution just a week after completing my MSc dissertation. "

"At Queen Mary, I have the chance to study and work with world-renowned experts in banking and finance, which is of great help for not only my learning process but also my career as well this professional course presents wonderful opportunities to to study in a multidisciplinary School, which is located in the world's foremost financial centre, to put into practice what I have learned at school.
Lecturers are specialists across a broad range of business subjects, including accounting, banking, finance, economics, management, marketing, who give most support to students and learning is really interesting here.
We can discuss 'hot' topics like friends, which makes learning much easier and comfortable.
This MSc brings the knowledge and analytical skills needed for a successful career in banking, finance and related areas. The international learning experience adds not only range and depth to the student experience but also worldwide networking opportunities after graduation.
During my studies, I had the opportunity to attend many support classes ranging from academic classes to social classes and all of them were absolutely free. Such classes are of great help for my learning process as well as for my future career when I am back to Vietnam.
Queen Mary is full of nice people, in particular my classmates and teachers. They made me feel at home and thanks to them my life in the UK was unforgettable and much more interesting."
"The Vietnamese Society (Vietsoc) at QMUL was officially created in September 2014. Despite being a young society, we have been very active and our committee is enthusiastic in almost all activities and events both inside and out of Vietsoc, with a hope of bringing the best for the Vietnamese students at QMUL. We proudly contribute to connect not only the Vietnamese students at QMUL but also to all the Vietnamese students across the UK via the Vietnamese Student Association in the UK (SVUK). We are determined to provide any information for those who will be spending their study at QMUL; and to help the current students with all aspects including education, housing accommodation, entertainment, etc. Our monthly meetings and some special events, together with those hosted by SVUK will definitely give you an opportunity to relax besides your hard-working period, to express yourself and of course to make new friends who you will be sharing the precious moments in UK."
