At Queen Mary University of London, we believe that a diversity of ideas helps us achieve the previously unthinkable.
Dating back to 1894, the School of Geography is deeply embedded in our East End home, researching unique social and environmental questions in a dynamic urban context. Our graduates benefit from the community and industry engagement opportunities that London offers, securing jobs at influential organisations across the private and public sector, from the UK Environment Agency to Civil Service groups like Defra.
We strive to solve the major environmental and societal challenges of our time, generating rigorous research evidence and turning that into impactful practical and policy change at local, national or even global levels, often working with powerful partners like Government agencies and big tech companies to drive progress. QS World University Rankings (2023) name us among the top 100 geography departments worldwide, while the Research Excellence Framework (2021) puts the quality of our research outputs in the UK top 10.



Come to the University of Northampton and you will see that we do things a bit differently.
