We are a strong and welcoming community of students and staff and are committed to the highest standards in teaching across the wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses we offer. In addition, we have a vibrant research culture and environment.

Established in 1850 and with a deep heritage in education, St Mary’s has a strong reputation for teaching excellence and a student-centred approach.

St Mary’s University is a London university that offers the best of both worlds: a green, beautiful campus within the country’s capital.

We are smaller than most universities and our focus is on quality not quantity. This is reflected in our rankings, with St Mary’s being listed in the top 10 in the UK for teaching quality by The Sunday Times Good University Guide 2022.

The same guide also rated us within the top 5 in the UK for student experience. Our small size and our diverse, vibrant campus gives St Mary’s a wonderful community atmosphere.

We pride ourselves on the excellent career prospects of our students, with 96% of graduates in employment, vocation or further study within 15 months of graduation (HESA 2021).
