That’s a wrap on Day 1 of Queen Mary Open Day! 💙

Thank you to everyone who joined us today. We loved welcoming you to our Mile End campus and sharing what makes Queen Mary such a special place to study.

We can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow and welcome the rest of you for Day 2.

Yesterday, Queen Mary University of London welcomed a delegation of Members of Parliament from the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye (Turkish Parliament/TBMM), as part of a UK fact-finding programme on equality, inclusion, accessibility and non-discrimination in higher education.

The visit was chaired by Professor Colin Bailey, who shared the University's approach to social mobility, widening participation, diversity and inclusion, as well as the role of higher education in driving positive social change.

The Turkish delegation was particularly interested in Queen Mary's work to remove barriers to participation and ensure all students can thrive. Discussions focused on creating inclusive learning environments, supporting students from diverse backgrounds and improving accessibility across higher education.

This June, Queen Mary is proud to be celebrating Pride Month. 🌈

Inspired by the themes of visibility, community, inclusion and action, our programme is designed to bring our community together, amplify voices and create opportunities for everyone to learn, reflect and take part.

As Dr Philippa Lloyd , Vice-Principal (Policy and Strategic Partnerships), highlights:

“Pride Month is a powerful reflection of our commitment to creating a truly inclusive environment… Through this programme, we reaffirm our commitment to visibility, belonging, and meaningful action to advance equality.”
