The east London advantage Barts and The London serves a huge population of unrivalled diversity in the east of London, but is also next door to the City of London, one of the UK’s richest neighbourhoods. This means that our medical and dental students encounter a huge range of medical conditions while building the patient contact hours they need to become confident and competent professionals.

“East London and the wider Thames Gateway offer our medical students the opportunity to observe a wide range of diseases – from diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, obesity, TB and even malnutrition. This is a unique learning environment for their medical training.”

Cathy Baker, Head of Graduate Entry Programme in Medicine

2012 Olympics on our doorstep The 2012 Olympics are taking place very close to Queen Mary’s Mile End campus, and our Whitechapel and West Smithfield campuses are also not far away.

Barts Hospital, the new Royal London Hospital and our associated Trusts will provide healthcare for the Olympic athletes and the general public during the summer games. This will be an exciting time to be in London.

Campus-based Barts and The London is part of Queen Mary, the only College of the University of London to offer extensive campus-based facilities.

Welcome to the School of Business and Management

The School of Business and Management was created to develop high quality research activity and to launch a major expansion in business and management teaching and delivery.

The School of Business and Management at Queen Mary strives to unearth the connections between economic, social, political and cultural life and modern business and management forms. It is the search for inter-linkages between management, organisation, business life and the contemporary world that forms much of what we do.

Management is a wide ranging subject that looks at the way organisations and individuals organise themselves to produce goods and services within economic, political, social and technological contexts. There are few areas of twenty first century life that are not touched by it, and a solid understanding of

its principles and practices are essential to those who manage our businesses, educational and political institutions now and into the future.

Since it was established in 2002, the School of Business and Management has addressed this by rapidly developing a range of specialist Masters programmes that draw on the research strengths of its international staff.

Further programmes are being developed as the School continues to grow and expand its range of expertise. Students can expect to undertake programmes that deliver cutting edge thinking as well as established theories and practice with an international perspective.

The School places strong emphasis on encouraging students to think logically and creatively, with all programmes developing students’ ability to make relevant critical analyses and evaluations through the investigation of current business issues and management techniques.

Our Masters students make vital contributions to the School as well as benefiting from studying in an intellectually stimulating and research focused environment in which they are able to interact with academic staff who are prominent in their respective fields. A number of staff have written leading textbooks on subjects such as managing diversity and research methods.

The School entered the Government’s Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) for the first time in 2008 with outstanding sucess, ranking joint 25th out of 90 Business Schools.

The College as a whole is ranked 11th in the UK according to the quality of its research (Guardian).

We currently have 42 academic staff, and this will increase further in the coming years.

Westfield College was founded in 1882 in Hampstead as a pioneering college for the higher education of women. In 1995 the College merged with two leading medical colleges, to create the Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry: the London Hospital Medical College, England’s first medical school, was established in 1785, and St Bartholomew’s Hospital Medical College was established in 1843.

Currently: Category Analyst for Youngs, Findus and Samworth Brothers, Kantar Worldpanel

How did your time at Queen Mary prepare you for work?

It was excellent for furthering my knowledge of marketing and opening my eyes to new ways of looking at things. My communication and presentation skills have also been enhanced, something that is particularly important to my current job.

What does your current job involve day-to-day?

I am the main point of contact for various key brands within the fish and chilled convenience sectors. Effectively I am a marketing consultant advising my clients on various aspects of their business.

Predominantly this involves shopper behaviour. An example of a recent project I worked on involved Youngs seafood range, they were launching two new products and needed competitor analysis, demographic mapping, and ideas regarding opportunities for growth.

What are your most and least favourite aspects of your job?

I very much enjoy the client contact and the opportunities to travel the country meeting my clients. Producing pieces of work that add real value to my clients’ business also gives me a great sense of achievement.

What can current students do to prepare for getting a job in your area?

While studying, they should take the opportunity to hone and practise their presentation skills. I would also recommend being bold about asking questions and offering opinions. Companies such as the one I work in expect their employees to have excellent attention to detail, great communication and IT skills, and good marketing knowledge.

Alphabetical list of modules

Brand Management This module focuses on the strategic role that brands play in the successful marketing of products and services. It aims to introduce current academic thinking and business practice of contemporary branding to students, introducing key concepts such as brand equity, brand identity, corporate branding, brand development, brand strategy, organisational support for branding, brand features and personality, brand portfolios and the internet and branding. In addition, you will get an insight into the actual process of brand management and the issues and dilemmas that contemporary brand managers and stewards have to face. The focus of the module is the final presentation and report that students, both in groups and as individuals, will have to prepare on analysing a failing brand and proposing ideas to reposition and revitalise it. The brand itself will be taken from the contemporary business world and so will provide the students with opportunities to carry out challenging and relevant research.

Business Finance (delivered by the School of Economics and Finance)

This module aims to develop your understanding of how firms raise external finance and design their capital structure. We also look at how real investments are valued and how corporations interact with financial markets. In particular, we will be looking into how firms make financial decisions. We will

examine the assumption that a firm’s cash flows are exogenous with respect to financial decisions.

You will also study the ModiglianiMiller theorems stating which conditions make capital structure irrelevant, and derive the optimal debt/equity mix in the presence of taxes and costly bankruptcy. The rest of the module addresses the issue of how a firm’s financial and governance structure affects its value once information problems between firms’ insiders and investors are taken into account.

Contemporary Issues in Accounting This module introduces you to some of the key developments and issues in accounting currently discussed by policy makers, the profession, the media and academics and to develop an awareness of how these relate to underlying accounting theory. It attempts to provide rationales for these developments/issues and to enhance students’ understanding of the way in which accounting is implicated in wider policy debates.

Comparative Employment Relations You will concentrate on the following key features: theoretical and conceptual approaches to the study of employment relations; the value and difficulties of a comparative approach; the role of the key actors in employment relations; power, conflict and bargaining; convergence and divergence – consideration of the debates; the complexity of the trade union role from comparative perspective; consideration of international solidarity; impact of globalisation and transnational companies on national and cross national management employment strategies; employee involvement and industrial democracy; social partnership and participation; standards in international employment relations; regulation and voluntarism; examining comparative employment relations through gender, equality and diversity lens; reappraising comparative employment relations.

Corporate Finance for Managers The focus of this module is the financing and investment decisions made by the managers of companies in pursuit of corporate goals. It examines how managers can obtain the greatest possible return on investments for the smallest amount of risk.

have impacted upon and shaped the development of corporate governance systems and practices and how these local corporate governance systems and practices are challenged by globalisation.

Within this broad framework case studies provide detailed insights into specific aspects of corporate governance.

E-marketing This module has been designed to introduce the fundamental principles of E-Marketing; to understand the dynamics and interrelationships between key marketing variables in the process of defining and executing effective marketing strategies in an Internet context. Throughout the module, you will have the opportunity to develop your skills and understanding in how to effectively communicate marketing strategies using real world examples.

Financial Reporting This module examines the financial reporting of companies, and how such reporting can be analysed to evaluate performance.

No prior knowledge of accounting is assumed. You will learn how accounts are constructed and analysed, then examine the impact of various issues on the reported numbers. These include the reporting of intangible assets; creative accounting; currency translation; and the use of share options to reward management.

This module takes a global perspective and refers largely to the regulatory regime of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Finance for Development In undertaking this module, you will develop an understanding of the role that finance plays in the context of economic development.

The emphasis of this module will be on explaining and analysing, the problems that are encountered by emerging markets in the process of developing their industrial and agricultural sectors and the role that financial institutions play in the context of development. In order to study the problems closely, and the respective strategies that are adopted by different developing countries, the primary focus of this course is on India, South Korea and China.

Globalisation and the International Political economy of development (delivered by the School of Politics and International Relations)

The module provides you with a detailed examination – and critique - of theories of globalisation and assessment of contemporary globalising processes, and how these particularly influence the developing world.

It examines these influences through detailed analysis of contemporary manifestations of ‘globalisation’, including neoliberalism, US hegemony and contemporary imperialism, capital

flows, global commodity chains, state-market relations, patterns of global inequality, international institutions, and questions of cultural homogenisation/ imperialism.

The module also examines the ways in which ‘globalisation’ is resisted, focusing on the rise of transnational social movements and NGOs, and the politics of ‘anti-globalisation’, and how this relates to an ostensibly ‘postdevelopment’ era.

In addressing these issues, the module concludes by asking the most important question: how do we think of ‘development’ in an era of ‘globalisation’, US hegemony, neo-liberalism and imperialism?

Global Economy You will concentrate on the international economics dimension of globalisation that is international trade, finance and development. The subject matter of globalisation consists of issues raised by the economic interaction between sovereign states.

Innovation and Global Competition This module analyses how developed countries acquired technological edge in the Twentieth Century, and investigates the challenges that globalisation poses to their leadership. At the same time, you will investigate the challenges that developing countries might face in facilitating the growth of innovative firms. This entails the analysis of

The School of Business and Management

the role of legal and financial institutions in promoting innovation. Finally, you will analyse geographical distribution of innovation, knowledge spillovers, and the role of entrepreneurs and inventors as opposed to that of corporate research laboratories in promoting technological change.

International Accounting This module provides insights into the origins of accounting and its subsequent changes. Adopting this broader perspective, the module will attempt to trace the genealogy of accounting and its principles, standards and conventions. You will discuss the historical developments in accounting by focusing on accounting issues created in the process of harmonisation. This approach will lead students to critically engage in the current debates on accounting, accountability and the responsibility of cross-border transactions.

International Human Resource Management This module provides a critical evaluation of the globalisation of human resource management techniques and strategies from a number of perspectives. Such an approach focuses attention on the political nature of human resource management at the level of the nation state and the organisation.

The first part of the module examines the history of IHRM as an academic discipline and as a

management practice before exploring how far western, particularly Anglo-American, conceptualisations of people as human resources to be managed can be applied to a wider international context. By examining case studies of contemporary issues in relation to IHRM, the module seeks to identify what might be common (convergence) to the management of human resources and what might differ (divergence) between nations.

International Macroeconomics and Finance This module introduces you to basic concepts in macroeconomics and finance.

After an overview of the financial market, its institutions and instruments, the module proceeds to examine central banking and the money supply process, and the conduct of monetary policy.

After looking at Monetary Policy under different exchange rate regimes; there is a discussion of the international financial system and its behaviour in times of financial crisis. The module concludes with a discussion of the Euro and European Monetary policy International Marketing You will begin by examining the reasons and rationale behind firms deciding to market overseas and will discuss the challenges inherent in communicating and managing across business, national and consumer cultures.

The module then focuses on the

23

opportunities to be gained from international marketing, and also its dangers and the challenges that marketers face when attempting to operate in foreign markets. You will examine the reasons and rationale behind firms deciding to market overseas; and then analyse the decisionmaking process regarding which markets firms should enter examining political, economic, social, legal and technological factors. You will also look at market entry strategies and the integrated marketing mix of product, price, place and promotion – taught from an international perspective.

Implementation, customer relations and the increasingly important role of e-marketing will also be taught.

International Marketing Communications This module focuses on the role of marketing communications in a global environment and the processes through which organisations can effectively communicate with their various publics in order to enhance both customer value and company returns. You will start with an indepth discussion of the integrated marketing communications mix (advertising, public relations, personal selling, sales promotion, direct marketing). You then move on to a series of considerations such as the development of an effective marketing communications mix, the role of marketing communications in the establishment of long-term

customer relationships and equitable brands. Throughout the module, the relationship between marketing communications and brand equity will be discussed with particular reference to problems faced by marketers in the context of global economy.

International Reward Management Reward management is one of the key components of human resource management. It is one of the most sensitive and problematic areas of people management that poses additional issues when cast in an international setting. This module starts by giving you an international empirical and theoretical grounding before giving you the opportunity to apply this knowledge to conceptual issues such as equality, fairness, performance and motivation. These issues are examined at number of levels: internationally, nationally and organisationally by engaging with topical case studies and practical examples.

The module offers an examination of the ways in which violent conflict and the use of force impact on international relations, how force is used by states and other actors, and how force is managed in world politics. The module surveys a variety of perspectives on the causes of war and peace in order to better examine the roots of violent conflicts and security problems in the present day.

International Security

A major theme is looking at war in a global context, not only in terms of integrating contemporary concerns with globalisation, but also by looking at interconnections between north and south, and war and society. Additionally, the responses of the international community to violent conflict will also be explored, looking broadly at the contested notion of the ‘Just War’, international law, and the role of the United Nations.

Overall, the module gives a broad perspective on the place of armed force in contemporary international relations.

(delivered by the School of Politics and International Relations)

Investment Management (delivered

Violent conflict and the use of force remain salient issues in contemporary international relations. While some have theorised that the advent of globalisation and spread of liberal democracy would make the use of force and violent conflict less relevant to the world, war and conflict have remained an integral part of the international system, as well as forming an obstacle to providing stability and security for many states.

by the School of Economics and Finance)

This module offers a high level introduction to concepts related to investment analysis. Topics treated include valuation of real and financial securities; the principles of investment; valuation of risky securities; portfolio analysis and bond portfolio management; financial market equilibrium; the CAPM and APT models; capital budgeting and risk; market efficiency.

Knowledge and Innovation Management Innovation is a process and it is the primary source of competitive advantage in knowledge-based economies. The management of innovation is inherently difficult and risky: most new technologies fail to be translated into products or services, and most new products and services are not commercial successes. In this integrative module we will explore the reasons why this is the case by exploring the innovation process in-depth.

We will consider what might be done to improve the chances of ‘success’ and demonstrate that behavioural approach rooted in the concept of managing knowledge, in and across organisations, is fundamental to managing innovation.

Managerial Economics This module provides you with a sound understanding of some of the insights from economics with respect to business and management decisions. Module content focuses on issues typically addressed in microeconomics, including marginal analysis, supply and demand, production theory, market structures, price discrimination, signalling and screening, and incentives in organisations.

Managing Diversity This module examines theories of equality and diversity and of occupational segmentation. It explores diversity and equality

The School of Business and Management

across the dimensions of gender, race, disability, age and sexual orientation and considers the organisational processes, which produce and reproduce inequalities of outcome among diverse social groups. You will also consider national and European legislative frameworks; policy approaches and implications at organisational level.

Multinationals and Global Competition This module examines multinationals and global businesses in the era of globalisation, offering a broad overview of the process of globalisation and the changing nature of global business over time.

The module provides a dynamic and comparative perspective on the nature and scope of global business, its origins and development, the theories of multinational corporations, international trade, market selection and modes of entry. You will examine the context of global business and the changing context of multinational operation through the changing nature of the global political economy and through the influence of cultures and institutions. You will also explore how the changing global environment affects the decisions of managers and the strategies, structures and activities of firms operating in the global market place.

Occupational Psychology This module is suitable for students who have deep appreciation of complex and multifaceted theories across all fields of psychology, including

psychoanalytical, personal construct theory and constructionist approaches. It requires good knowledge of ontology, epistemology and research paradigms and methods, ability to read and engage with critical, interpretivist as well as statistically rich texts. This module demands a great deal of self-study, more than the recommended 117 hours, covering academic journals, research monographs and psychological literature. This module encourages students to adopt self reflexive approach through which they can critically engage with advanced scholarship in the field of occupational psychology.

Organisation Theory This module gives an overview about key concepts of organisation and processes of organisational design. It examines these both, from a theoretical as well as practical perspective. The first part of the module will be used to review the existing body of knowledge in the area. In the second part we will consider further developments, especially ideas related to corporate culture, politics and power in and between organisations and comparative research in international management and organisations.

Political Economy: Theory and History (delivered by the School of

25

uses this grounding to explore the work of key thinkers who focus on the politics of capitalism and specifically international business, focusing on the social, the political and the economic. It will look at writers such as Smith, Ricardo, Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Spencer, Keynes, Schumpeter, Polanyi, Hayek and Minsky, and the approaches these writers take to understanding international business, and how this fits into their wider understanding of capitalism and modernity, and also how these debates influence current debates on international business and politics.

Public Advocacy Marketing This module is a critical review of the application of marketing for social and political purposes. It charts progress from moderate and admissible practices to the application of marketing in the most extreme causes imaginable; some would even say the use of the term marketing was illegitimate, that we are dealing in fact with propaganda. Essentially then our concern is with the usage and abusage of marketing to change our world, for better or worse. Our perspective is that marketing is a dynamic tool and potent agent of change that can civilise or decivilise society. The claim is that marketing has shaped, and continues to shape, the culture we live in today.

Politics and International Relations)

The module will provide an advanced historical grounding in the development of international business in the context of the rise of global capitalism, and then

Qualitative Research Methods This module introduces and develops some of the key concepts and methods employed

26

The School of Business and Management

Alphabetical list of modules

in qualitative research methods in business and management context. Through an emphasis on research ethics, the course allows students to explore links between methodology, ontology and epistemological perspectives.

You will learn about qualitative research methods through conducting their own research every week. Projects will include interviewing and interview analysis, literature and discourse analysis, ethnography and participant observation. Support will also be given in terms of how to conduct literature review and explore differences between descriptive and critical research.

Students must be self-motivated and comfortable working towards tight deadlines.

Quantitative Research Methods This module provides a relatively non-technical grounding in the use of statistical methods employed in business and management research by introducing and developing some of the key concepts and methods employed. Topics include descriptive statistics; probability; estimation, confidence intervals and hypothesis testing; and correlation and regression, with an emphasis on their different concepts and interpretation through discussion from business cases. You will gain an understanding of the basic types of data sets that can be analysed in business and how to organise, describe and summarise them.

You will also learn how to estimate the parameters of distribution and make confidence statements

about them; how to set up and test hypotheses about these parameters; and how to carry out linear regression on data set, and compute and interpret related summary statistics.

Quantitative Techniques (delivered by the School of Economics and Finance)

This module aims to provide you with the necessary tools for writing and estimating simple econometric models in the context of financial quantitative analysis.

Basic statistical tools needed for understanding and using financial models are introduced and explained. We will assume you have a minimal knowledge of econometrics and statistics.

Research Methods for Business and Management This core module introduces and develops some of the key concepts and methods employed in research methods in a business and management environment.

The emphasis is not on techniques and derivation but on practical work and interpretation.

The first part introduces qualitative methods, such as observation, interviews and documentary analysis, considering both theoretical issues and alternative methodological approaches. It also looks at practical issues, such as how to conduct literature search and critically review relevant literatures. The second part covers the basic elements of descriptive statistics, correlation, probability sampling and inference, and confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.

The module also looks at sample surveys, and explicitly considers the ethical issues in research methods.

Risk Management for Banking (delivered by the School of Economics and Finance)

The module is designed to give a good insight into the risk management process and how capital is allocated. We identify the main sources of risk experienced by Financial Institutions such as credit, market, liquidity, and operational risks. Methods for quantifying and managing risk are explored in detail with an emphasis on understanding factors affecting Value at Risk (VAR) calculations.

Finally, we see how reporting standards, regulation and innovation have transformed the way Financial Institutions operate and what can we learn from recent risk management failures.

Sovereignty and Intervention in International Politics (delivered by the School of Politics and International Relations)

The module aims to provide an opportunity to explore different aspects of international politics through the prism of sovereignty and intervention in an interdisciplinary way, drawing on approaches from history, international relations, political and normative theory, and international law. It aims to equip students with detailed understandings of different forms of intervention – such as humanitarian, state-building, and economic interventions – and the

The School of Business and Management

various ways in which sovereignty is being transformed in the contemporary era. The module is explicitly ‘political’ and is concerned with the way power is used in human society. It aims to challenge students’ preconceptions and equip them with a sophisticated appreciation of the relevance of intervention today. Above all it will encourage students to develop the capacity for independent analysis that will enable them to think, talk and write about international politics in an informed, critical manner about international politics well after they have graduated.

Themes and Cases in US Foreign Policy (delivered by the School of Politics and International Relations)

This module will consider the principal forms in which US foreign policy has been practised and interpreted since the foundation of the Republic.

Amongst these are American Exceptionalism and AntiAmericanism, ‘spheres of influence’, liberal interventionism and protectionist isolationism, Cold War containment, the ‘War on Terror’ following 9/11, and the strains on unipolarity in the early 21st century. Amongst the case studies linked to these themes, we shall consider the role of Native Americans and immigration, the war of 1898, gunboat diplomacy in the Caribbean, the ideas of Woodrow Wilson, the Vietnam War, the consequences of the 9/11 attacks, and the challenges posed by China.

The Politics of International Business This module offers a broad overview of the process of economic ‘globalisation’ and changes in international business over time. The focus is on the multinational firm – set in the context of trends in the world economy, with particular emphasis on the period since the 1970s. It provides a critical and comparative perspective on the nature and scope of international business, its origins and development, theories of international trade and its regulation, conceptualisations of international supply chains, and attempts to reform and resist multinationals.

The State, Market and Society Concepts and Critique This core module introduces key concepts, theories and critique of the ‘state, market and society’, identifying the ways in which these can shape the economy and the contexts of business. The module aims to engage students in seminal theorisations and their attendant critiques as well as their application to the real world of business. It is specifically designed to be accessible to large and diverse cohort of students and seeks to familiarise them with key constructs and debates which ground the more specialised studies of each particular Masters programme offered by the School.

The emphasis on critique and deconstruction of seminal debates for businesses and societies will be iterative with other modules

27

such as dissertation and research methods which require students to engage with and review literature critically.

Understanding Consumer and Market Behaviour This module develops a useful conceptual understanding of consumer behaviour as a main consideration in marketing. You will start with an overview of consumer research and behaviour. You will then cover major topics such as attitudes and interpersonal influence. A mixture of discussions, hands on exercises, and case studies, is used, and group and individual activities are combined to translate theory into practice. The module thus provides frameworks that enable students to address the issue of understanding consumers responsibly, systematically, and creatively.

Living in London

You have access to some of the best libraries, archives, museums and galleries in the UK, as well as theatres, music venues and sports facilities. In fact, whatever your interests and area of study, you are sure to find places to go, people to meet and things going on that will appeal to you.

East London Queen Mary’s main campus is situated in east London, in Mile End – one of the most eclectic parts of the capital. Close to the campus you will find convenience stores, well established pubs, cafes and restaurants, and the open green spaces of Mile End Park. Regent’s Canal runs alongside the campus, home to handful of narrowboats, ducks and swans. The enormous and beautifully maintained Victoria Park is short walk along the canal.

To the north of the campus is the infamous Roman Road, an excellent place to grab few bargains, as well as reasonably priced fruit and veg. Whitechapel market is also not far, where you’ll find huge range of fresh produce, as well as clothes, electrical gods and almost anything else you care to mention.

The College’s Whitechapel campus is located directly opposite Whitechapel tube station, home to Barts and The London, Queen Mary’s School of Medicine and Dentistry.

Brick lane with its many curry houses, cafes, clubs and bars is a stone’s throw from the Whitechapel campus and ten minute walk from Mile End. It’s a great place for shopping as well as eating, with excellent vintage shops, up and coming designer boutiques and great music shop, Rough Trade East.

The Truman Brewery and 93 Feet East host regular live music and club nights, and on Sundays, the whole place transforms into one of London’s biggest markets. You’ll find designer sample sales, new and vintage clothes, furniture, bricabrac, cosmetics and food to take away.

Shoreditch with its many galleries, artistrun spaces, clubs and cafes is just the other side of Brick Lane, through the old Spitalfields market space that has been transformed with new retail outlets and restaurants. The Rich Mix cinema on Bethnal Green Road shows the latest releases as well as arthouse favourites. It is also venue for modern dance, theatre and live music.

London is an excellent choice for your postgraduate study. It is a thriving, vibrant, culturally rich city, offering wonderful opportunities.

Why, Sir, you find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.

Postgraduate student life is marked by a different set of priorities to those of an undergraduate student. You may be less interested in doing the rounds of Freshers’ week, and signing up for societies. However, striking the right work life balance is just as important.

QMSU As Queen Mary student you will automatically become member of the Students’ Union, QMSU. This gives you access to facilities and services at both the Mile End and Whitechapel campuses, as well as further afield. The QMSU maintains several shops, the Drapers Bar (Mile End campus), and very impressive and recently refurbished health and fitness centre, QMotion.

With competitive membership rates, an extensive range of cardiovascular equipment, and many scheduled classes like yoga and pilates, it’s an excellent place to take break from your studies.

With over 180 clubs and societies (from fencing and cheerleading to wine and cinema) your interest will no doubt be represented. It may even provide good opportunity to cultivate new interest, or at the very least meet some new people outside of your programme of study. QMSU also publishes the student magazine, Cub, and the newsletter QMessenger.

As part of the University of London, Queen Mary students also become members of ULU, the University of London Union. Representing over

120,000 students, it is the largest organised Students’ Union in Europe. ULU provides range of services on an intercollegiate and complementary basis. Based in central London, students have access to places to eat, bars, shops and health and fitness centre and swimming pool. For more information, see www.ulu.co.uk

Student support Our student support network is designed so you can get the most from your time at Queen Mary. It makes it easy for you to access extra help when you need it – from academic tips and money advice to counselling and self help. Our team of qualified of welfare advisers and counsellors is based on the Mile End campus.

Department. QMSU also provide nightline, confidential telephone help line. For more information, see www.qmsu.org Academic study support To help students with the transition to higher degree study, the Language and Learning Unit runs programme of short courses, tutorials and drop-in classes in such skills as organisation and time management, research and note-taking, oral communication and presentation, academic writing, personal development planning and revision and examination skills. For more information, see www.languageandlearning.qmul.ac.uk

Health services A medical centre is located on the Mile End campus, and students living on campus and close by can register for treatment during term-time. Even students, who do not live in the catchment area, can use the centre for emergency treatment. Outside term-time, the same doctors operate out of the Globe-town surgery on nearby Roman Road.

You need to be able to cope with reading, note taking from lectures, books, journals and other materials; to speak well in seminars, discussions groups and tutorials; and to present yourself effectively in written assignments and examinations.

Living costs, tuition fees and bursaries

Living costs The cost of living in London depends on your lifestyle.

Typically, however, postgraduates need at least £11,000 to cover food, accommodation, travel, books and so on for a full year (52 weeks), plus adequate funds to maintain any dependants.

International students will need to show evidence of having at least £7,200 for living costs plus 100 per cent of tuition fees in order to obtain Entry Clearance under Tier 4 of the UK Border Agency’s Points Based System of immigration. Additional amounts need to be shown for dependants. £7,200 is based on nine months of study and is an immigration requirement only – most students require more money than this for 12 months’ living costs normally around £11,000.

Please note that while the College will offer advice to students who encounter financial difficulties, it is not able to fund postgraduate students who have started programme without adequate or reliable funding. Although hardship funds may be available, payments are small and cannot cover fees or compensate for not having adequate funding in place.

Consequently it is vital that you consider how you will pay your fees and maintain yourself at an early stage in the application process. All funding information for taught and research students is available on our website. Please visit: www.qmul.ac.uk/ postgraduate/fees funding www.welfare.qmul.ac.uk
