Your Academic Support Network 

We know that adjusting to a period of study abroad can take time and so we make sure that you know who to talk to and where to seek advice when you need it. In addition to our Queen Mary-wide support services, you will have a dedicated Study Abroad Coordinator in each of the academic schools in which you are studying, who will be on hand to give you any academic help and guidance you might need – and ensure that your study period with us is as successful as it can be.

QM Elevate

The QM Elevate programme offers non-credit-bearing modules designed to enhance your academic skills. Classes are free and open to all students across all academic levels.

QM Elevate modules provide tools to help you write better assignments, read more efficiently and with a more critical eye, engage actively in lectures and seminars, and use language with flair. We also help you build confidence in your communication skills, preparing you for workplace success and giving you a head start in your career. More guidance on what we offer can be found here: www.qmul.ac.uk/sllf/language-centre/qm-elevate

Global Opportunities Ambassadors

Our Global Opportunities Ambassadors are students and alumni who have studied abroad at Queen Mary, or who have gone abroad as part of their Queen Mary degree. They’re available to answer any questions you might have about their experience abroad and about Queen Mary. They know what it’s like to study in and experience a new country and culture, so their advice is invaluable. They're here to share their knowledge and insights with you. Take a look at their profiles here and feel free to reach out to us if you’d like to be put in touch with them.

Expert language support

If English is not your first language, you can take advantage of the services offered by our highly regarded Language Centre, which offers a wide range of free in-sessional modules to help you get the very best from your studies with us and improve your academic work.

Its courses are an excellent way of improving your academic skills: many of our home students who have English as their first language also use these modules to improve their academic work. Some of the Centre’s modules are credit-bearing; other modules are non-credit bearing but will either develop your general academic skills or develop your skills in a specific subject area.

All of the Language Centre’s modules focus on English for academic purposes and include:

  • writing for your discipline
  • English grammar
  • proofreading skills
  • presentation skills
  • lecture comprehension.
