Housing services
As a Queen Mary Summer School student, you will be offered a place on campus in our comfortable accommodation. You’ll have a single room in one of our self-catering flats, so you can meet other students and make friends while you are here.
Campus life
Our modern campus is a peaceful oasis in a busy city, set beside the Regent’s Canal, looking on to Mile End Park. It has a friendly, relaxed atmosphere: with plenty of greenery and attractive outdoor spaces here, so it’s easy to forget that you’re in the middle of a busy capital city. We hope that it will soon feel like your London home.
Sports facilities
Qmotion, on our Mile End campus, is the Union’s sport and fitness centre. The gym is equipped with the latest facilities, holds a wide range of group exercise classes, and offers a number of additional services, such as personal training.
