Queen Mary University of London, referred to as QMUL, was formerly a community hall integrating education and culture. It gradually became an academic institution in the early 20th century and joined the University of London (UOL) in 1915. , and changed its name to Queen Mary College in 1934. After decades of integration and expansion, it was officially established as a university in 2000.
