Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) is a research institution in the United Kingdom, based in London. QMUL’s history begins in 1785, when four outstanding educational institutions in London merged to form Queen Mary University of London. St Bartholomew’s Hospital and the London Hospital Medical College (or London Infirmary, England’s first medical school officially) were established for the general public, whereas Westfield College and Queen Mary College were established specifically for women’s education, which was unavailable in the 1780s. Queen Mary University of London is one of the Russell Group’s 24 universities in the United Kingdom.
Queen Mary University of London has campuses in both Whitechapel and Mile End. Aside from the main site, there are three other campuses located in Charterhouse, West Smithfield, and Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
