(Degree Apprenticeship in Digital and Technology Solutions Specialist (Data Analytics) MSc, 2022)
Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock MBE is a huge inspiration of mine! She made me feel invincible as it was one of the first times that I had seen a space scientist who was also a black woman. She made me want to be someone who inspired that same feeling in other young women and neurodivergent people.

Mathematics underlies so much of the universe, society and everyday life but it is often hidden or some people are afraid of it.

(Business & Management MRes, 2014; Business & Management PhD, 2019)
I am very happy that I met so many fantastic academic researchers at Queen Mary who question the pro-business consensus of our time and are developing stakeholder approaches in different yet converging ways.

(Biological Sciences PhD, 2019)
What I loved most about my PhD was the fieldwork. It was fantastic spending so much time in the rainforest. Every day you knew there was a real chance of seeing elephants, eagles, hornbills, monkeys, pythons, bears (we saw them all), and that’s so exciting.

(Law LLM, 2016)
We must do our share in decolonizing the field of human rights, the perception that “professional” expertise comes from the West and North who are there to help the victims from the East and South.

(Materials Science and Engineering BEng, 2018)
My logic was, if you can achieve sustainability with sportswear, you can achieve sustainability with the regular clothes that we wear as consumers. Within the sportswear world, this goal limited me down to a handful of companies and it just so happened to work out with Adidas, which is where I am now!

(Materials Science and Engineering BEng, 2013)
I was headhunted by Apple to do a programme management role for iPad. I left after a year because it didn’t seem to be sustainable for the long term and took a chance and interviewed for my current role. Google is much more collaborative and this is an environment that I think I can thrive in.
Nicholas Sheward - Alumni Profile 16 May 2022
(Degree Apprenticeship in Digital and Technology Solutions (Software Engineer) BSc, 2021).
Whilst I was at the BBC to work, I was also there to learn, and I was doing that alongside incredibly talented individuals who invested their time into me. Being in that environment and seeing first-hand how organisations like the BBC operate is not something that university alone can properly prepare you for.
