The institution strives to provide students with the perfect learning environment and has invested GBP 105 million in new facilities over the past five years. From a redevelopment of the Engineering Building that introduces brand new, state-of-the-art robotics facilities, to the UK’s first new dental school in forty years, Queen Mary is constantly improving to offer students access to the latest technology in their respective fields.
