University Study in the United Kingdom: Queen Mary University of London
About
London is one of the world's truly international cities and dominates British life as the center for government, law, business, finance, the arts, and popular culture. For its inhabitants and visitors, London offers unrivaled cultural and social opportunities.
Queen Mary's student population is representative of the cultural diversity found in London's East End, as almost half of Queen Mary's 17,000 students hail from countries other than the UK. Off the tourist track but with easy access to the rest of the city, the East End allows you to become a part of a modern representation of the international community that now makes up the city.
Program Model
Housing & Meals
Live in single rooms with shared kitchen facilities in on-campus residence halls. Choose between a standard room (single room with a sink) or an en-suite room (single room with private bath). You will share a floor with 6–10 other British and international students. There is no meal plan; you will generally prepare meals in the residence halls or eat at local restaurants. There is a difference in cost between standard and en-suite housing; refer to the budget estimate and Queen Mary's Accommodations page for further details.
Excursions
Queen Mary has an active social life, and you are encouraged to further integrate into campus life joining one of several student clubs and organizations. Queen Mary's student union is ranked one of the best in London, and the International Office provides several optional excursions specifically for visiting students.
Learning Outcomes
Studying at Queen Mary University of London will help you:
- augment your cross-cultural understanding through interaction with British and international students and community members;

British Horror and Fantasy Cinema from Dracula to Harry Potter
-
Summer I
British cinema is often celebrated for its social realism, yet has made significant and influential contributions to the worlds of horror, fantasy, and science fiction. From the Gothic tradition of Dracula to nightmarish visions of London in 28 Days Later and the spectacular popular fantasies of Doctor Who and Harry Potter, this course investigates this alternative history or ‘repressed underside’ of British cinema and the ways in which these films have responded to their social and cultural production contexts.
Introducing you to a range of critical approaches to film and literature and making full use of our unique London setting, we will engage with debates on the cultural appeal and social significance of horror and fantasy, and the nature of audiences and film spectatorship. Key topics for discussion will be the depiction of London and the East End as both a landscape of fear and wonder; the representation of women, gender and sexuality in horror and fantasy; the psychoanalytic interpretation of horror and the ways through which these films engage with the history of Britain and its capital. With an emphasis on cinema, we will also compare the writing of British authors with film adaptations of their work.

Creative Writing Now
-
Summer I
This course explores contemporary examples and practices of creative fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and draws upon some of the formal and political motivations of contemporary English-language literature for its content. It will teach you to explore distinct narrative and/or poetic voices and techniques as well as learn from peer-feedback in workshop environments.
This course draws on a range of contemporary literature in English, and will give you the freedom and the tools to experiment with fiction, nonfiction or poetry, and to shape your own creative voice in the process. Using a combination of writing workshops and seminar-style discussion, we will address the ways contemporary literature reckons with a world in flux (BLM, #MeToo, climate change) and invents new, experimental ways to move beyond the boundaries of literary form. Writers we will look at include Claudia Rankine, Ocean Vuong, Victoria Adukwei Bulley, Patricia Lockwood, Sheila Heti, Diane Williams, Gwendoline Riley, and Natasha Brown.
The emphasis will be on developing the tools to give and receive constructive peer feedback with an effort to build craft alongside of—but separate from—your existing skills in analytical reading and writing. The course is assessed by coursework submission as well as feedback participation during the workshops.

Cultural Treasures of London: A Journey Through Time
-
Summer I
Through visits to ten of London’s most important institutions, this module will examine the development of how institutions curate culture from Renaissance ‘cabinets of curiosities’ to the modern ‘white cube’ gallery space. The module will equip you with the historical, theoretical, and practical knowledge necessary for studying culture through institutional collections. The class will analyze the techniques and practices museums use to collect, organize, and display their objects; we will consider the messages these institutions send through their architecture, patronage, and methods of display; and we will delve into some of the most important issues affecting cultural institutions today like decolonization, repatriation, and social impact. Aside from the introductory class, the module will take place off campus, with seminar groups visiting a different institution in each meeting.

Global Shakespeare
-
Summer I
How and why are Shakespeare’s plays performed, filmed, read and taught, from China to Chile, from Singapore to South Africa? What makes Shakespeare a “global” force? Shakespeare's plays display the vast panoply of human desires and emotions: from passionate love to bewildering fear, from unswerving loyalty to basest envy, from the noblest instances of self-sacrifice to the desire to inflict unspeakable pain. His depictions of these emotions are often shocking in their vividness, yet always recognizable as fundamental facets of human experience. This course will look at Shakespeare’s afterlives in different parts of the world, and include hands-on workshops in which we will try out different possible ways of interpreting “global” plays like Antony and Cleopatra.

Managing Diversity in Business: Creating & Leading Inclusive Organizations
-
Summer I
Why is diversity good for businesses? What can leaders do to make their organizations more inclusive? This module will explore these and other questions by introducing you to a range of theories and practical issues relevant to managing diversity in contemporary organizations. You will learn why inclusion matters, how diversity relates to business and organizational success, and explore case studies related to different dimensions of diversity like gender, age, race, and so on. We will then discuss various theories that help us understand why diversity and inclusion issues continue to persist in organizations and the labor market. For instance, why do some professions continue to be male- or female dominated? Where does gender pay gap come from? Can recruitment be unbiased? The module will then explore how to apply theory to practice and explore how to design and deliver effective diversity initiatives in organizations.

Practical Machine Learning
-
Summer II
Machine learning influences modern life in many different avenues and is silently revolutionizing the way we live and work. We can see the influence of machine-learning algorithms in social media, web search engines, mobile device spell checkers, and self-driving cars. This course will give you an introduction to machine learning using the Python programming language and the TensorFlowTM programming toolkit from Google. No programming background is assumed, however if you want to take this course, you should be familiar with using computers.
This course is taught by scientists using machine learning for data analysis at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider and will allow you to work on practical examples from both general and physics-based problems. Examples will be drawn from a variety of problems in order to allow you to build up an understanding of the tools and how to use them. This will prepare you for a mini-project analyzing data from a particle physics experiment to complement the examples encountered earlier in the course.

Taylor Swift and Literature
-
Summer I
Is the work of Taylor Swift literature?
You may have seen articles, in publications ranging from the Wall Street Journal to Teen Vogue, about seminars on Taylor Swift that were recently offered at some American universities. These university-level classes on Swift's work and its form, context, and implications raise all kinds of questions about what should be taught, read, and studied. Is Swift's work literature, and is it worth studying in the same way that one would study Shakespeare or Dickens? In this module, we will grapple with ideas of canonicity and literary value and think about what it means to read something as literature.
This module suggests that the lyrics of Taylor Swift can and should be read as literature. In doing so, we will pay close attention to formal elements such as rhyme and word choice. We will also analyze her songs with the help of key texts in critical theory and discuss the political, national, and historical contexts of her work. Queen Mary's London setting will encourage us to pay particular attention to the way in which the UK, and London in particular, figures in Swift's lyrics.

The Buildings of London: from the Great fire to the Present Day
-
Summer I
This module, which will be taught on site in historic buildings, will introduce you to the history of London and its buildings from the late seventeenth century to the present day. This is an extremely dynamic period in London's history: nearly the entire city was destroyed and rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1666, the city then saw huge increases in its population in the eighteenth century, and massive technological and social change in the nineteenth. The twentieth century brought yet more destruction and rebuilding after the Blitz, alongside political and economic upheaval, all of which led to radical changes in the appearance of London's buildings. This century has seen huge new investment in the City, and the rise of gentrification in the suburbs.
Throughout the module, we will tell this story by visiting and considering many different types of buildings, from churches, hospitals, and palaces, to railway stations and housing estates. Along the way, we will explore questions of architectural style, the implications of social and cultural change for architecture, and urban and architectural history and theory more generally.

The Impact of Trauma on Mental Health
-
Summer II
This course will address the impact of trauma on mental health as a lifelong process interrupted in some significant way by the pandemic of COVID-19. The work of researchers to understand mental health conditions will be supplemented by case studies that provide opportunity for you to glimpse examples of the life stories behind diagnoses. This course will address the challenge of mental health to the field of medicine as a whole. In a recently published book The Myth of Normal, leading trauma academic Dr. Gabor Maté suggests society is built on a hidden assumption of trauma passed through generations and presented visibly in the individual as physical and psychological conditions diagnosed by doctors. While diagnostic labels help individuals understand mental health problems, the interactions between doctor and patient may be limited should there not be a parallel effort to recognize the societal factors that contribute to ill health. Through a combination of theory and reflective accounts of ill health the module will illustrate the mechanisms by which life experiences impact the mind and reflect on whether the pandemic modified these.

The International Politics of Global Health
-
Summer I
This course will provide you with an introduction to some basic political theory, a history of international politics and global governance, and to the structure of the global political economy. You will then be given an opportunity to learn about the actors, structures, and politics of global health governance and international health policy. This will include learning about global actors such as WHO, the Gates Foundation, and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, as well as the role of civil society organizations and social movements in promoting global health equity.
With these basic building blocks in place, we will examine the following contemporary health issues through a social and political lens: health financing and health sector reform; global pandemic threats and the securitization of health; the effects of armed conflict on health; and the influence of trade and business on health.
We will also examine health inequalities within the local area of East London—a part of London which includes both some of the most deprived households in the country, as well as one of the biggest financial and banking hubs in the world. This will include a field trip, as well as a global health 'treasure hunt' in the British Museum.

Yankees in London: History of the United States through the Eyes of Americans who Lives, Worked and Partied in London
-
Summer I
What does American history look like from 'across the pond'? How can we re-evaluate key events in US history – the American Revolution, the struggle over slavery, the emergence of the US as a global superpower, the Civil Rights and ‘black power’ movements – by seeing them through the eyes of history-making Americans who lived, studied, worked, and partied in London? This module introduces you to a magnificent kaleidoscope of Americans in London, including revolutionaries (Benjamin Franklin, Abigail Adams), radical abolitionists (Frederick Douglass, Sarah Parker Remond, Elizabeth Cady Stanton), businessmen (George Peabody, J.P. Morgan), and artists (Ira Aldridge, Henry James, Paul Robeson). You will learn to work with a variety of original sources—textual, visual, and material—and make routine use of our London setting to visit museums and historical sites.
