10. Students' Union Societies

Queen Mary Students' Union supports a wide variety of societies. The Students' Union web pages also list details about how to set up your own society if none of the existing groups fit your interests.

Maths Society

Email: qm.maths@gmail.com.

We have a hugely popular and successful society which recently won awards including Academic Society of the Year. The society consists of students who are enthusiastic about mathematics and want to share their passion with the rest of Queen Mary. The society's main role is to organise social events to get everyone in the School of Mathematical Sciences together. Non-maths students are of course welcome as this will help promote the subject and the whole society in Queen Mary.  Their stated aim:

We hope to make the society as successful as possible and make members feel proud of being part of the society. We will make the best use of students' membership fees and try to include as many members as possible in our decision making.

You can find more information about the Maths Society at https://www.qmsu.org/groups/maths/ or check out their Facebook Group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/qm.maths.society.

The following societies may be of particular interest to students on joint programmes.


Actuarial society

Queen Mary Actuarial Society provides a second home for all students who wish to become actuaries, or those who wish to gain deeper comprehension of this profession. We are happy to welcome all other students as well regardless of your course!

We aim to SUCCEED:

  • Sharpen your technical and non-technical skills relevant to actuarial work,
  • Unite students from the institution,
  • Create a strong group of future actuaries of QMUL,
  • Care for our environment more,
  • Enhance your commercial awareness,
  • Enable you to network with colleagues and industry experts (not only actuaries), and
  • Develop your understanding with regard to actuarial work and professional standards.

Our events include:

  • Workshops,
  • Debates,
  • Fundraising,
  • Seminars, and of course,
  • Socials!

We place importance not only in valuing each and every member, but also in making this society fun and lively while being academic. We believe in diversity - we cherish individual differences.

Diversity IN DATA

We pride ourselves on our unparalleled, dedicated work in organising and running technology events for all students and staff in QMUL to understand more on a topic of Data Science. This includes panel talks, seminars and workshops.

At QM Diversity in Data Society, we believe that the right understanding and technological edge are leading the world to the 4th industrial revolution, and everyone deserves the right to know and work in Technology to celebrate this revolution together.

Equal opportunity is at the core of all that we do at QM Diversity in Data Society.

Our main goal is to encourage more people to discover the potentials behind data, that data science will help build a better tomorrow for everyone, everywhere.
