History
Queen Mary's roots lie in four historic colleges: Queen Mary College, Westfield College, St Bartholomew's Hospital Medical College and the London Hospital Medical College.
The college was first established in 1887 and was admitted to the University of London in 1915.
Queen Mary merged with the medical schools of St Bartholomew's and the Royal London hospitals in 1995.

Graduates from Russell Group universities are especially valued by employers, giving them a head start when they apply for jobs.
