Divided (24/10/2026, 17:00)

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 16:38:27 +0100

What happens when you have everything you thought you wanted, but still feel empty?

Divided is a creative arts production that brings the story of the Prodigal Son into the world of university life.

Through drama, music, dance and other creative expressions, the production explores the pressures, choices and relationships that can shape a student’s life. From identity and independence to friendship, failure, ambition and the search for belonging.

At the heart of the story is a young person who finds themselves caught between two worlds: the life they know and the life they think they want. As the journey unfolds, Divided asks questions about purpose, home, forgiveness and what it really means to be loved.

Whether you’re a Christian, exploring faith, or simply looking for a meaningful night of creativity and storytelling, Divided is an opportunity to experience a familiar story through a fresh university perspective.

Come for the production. Stay for the conversation. Leave with something to think about.

Queen Mary Model United Nations Conference 2027 (22/01/2027, 14:00)

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 01:22:18 +0100

Queen Mary Model United Nations Conference 2027

The Queen Mary Model United Nations Society are delighted to invite you to QMUN 2027, the sixth iteration of our annual conference. This year's theme is "Community Beyond Borders". While the idea of community has always been fundamental to human nature, it has become increasingly significant in the current world. In an era shaped by global challenges and political division, the need to build community across identities, cultures and backgrounds has never been more important.

"Community Beyond Borders" encourages us to move beyond current norms of hatred that we see daily in the news, and to seek change through cooperation beyond any defined borders. While we can't change the world with one simple conference, we definitely can build a foundation for a future where communities aren't divided by borders, but united through humanity. In a world where hatred and division continue to affect millions, this theme serves as a reminder that despite our differences, we all bleed the same.

QMUN 27 will, for the first time, have seven committees (as opposed to our usual six)- all accommodating specific levels of MUN experience. From common committees like ECOSOC and UNSC to newer, rarer ones like COPUOS and the Arab League, you've got lots to pick from as a delegate.

We're also super excited to invite you to the QMUN27 Gala! Located at the Garrod Building's Old Library--a beautiful and historically charming banquet hall--we're looking forward to what should be an elegant and glamorous evening.

QM Jiu Jitsu Training - Beginners Welcome! (02/11/2026, 19:30)

Tue, 01 Oct 2024 21:58:24 +0100

A Japanese martial art meant to use your opponent's force against them via joint locks, throws, submissions and more.

Jiu Jitsu is a martial art that originated and developed in medieval Japan, making use of throws, joint locks and strikes to subdue an aggressor. It's a great way to learn some self-defence, get fit or just learn something a little bit different. Most of the skills begin by using an aggressor’s energy to their own disadvantage, meaning Jiu Jitsu skills can be used by men, women and children of all ages. Jiu Jitsu can be used to counter aggressive situations ranging from physical harassment to armed assault.

Beginners are always welcome, so come along and give it a try.

Queen Mary Jiu Jitsu Club is part of The Jiu Jitsu Foundation (TJJF), the largest single-style Jiu Jitsu organisation in Britain.

If this is your first time, fill in the TJJF licence form. (Club: Queen Mary University of London Jiu Jitsu Club.) Show proof when you attend that you've completed the form. Bring comfortable gym clothes. Before coming onto the mat, it's a good idea to tie back any long hair. For safety purposes, remove any jewellery or cover them with tape if they can't be removed.

Model United Nations Training Session (10/12/2026, 17:00)

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 11:44:52 +0100

Come sit in and participate at one of the Model UN Society's weekly training sessions!

When we're not sending our delegates across Europe to scoop up awards at the world's most prestigious MUN conferences, or indeed hosting our own conference (the Best Rated Conference in the United Kingdom for 2025 and 2026, by the way), we're hosting our training sessions and building our strength in debate, conflict resolution, and lawmaking.

Our training sessions are for everybody, whether you're a total beginner or a Model UN veteran. You'll be put through your paces on a topic chosen at random by our Academics Team and tasked with representing a state selected for you. We'll go through all the processes of a usual MUN committee, starting with speeches from the General Speakers' List, then motions and caucuses, and then (should states be in agreement), end on a successfully passed resolution.

We'll be providing support every step of the way, covering what makes a good speech a great one, and how to work through typical situations you might find yourself in at conferences. We'll also be providing the latest information on the upcoming conferences on the United Kingdom circuit, and helping with travel and accommodation planning.
