Charitable Status of the College
Charitable Status of the College
The College was first incorporated by Royal Charter in 1934. The charter has been revised on a number of occasions: 1995 to reflect the merger of the College with the Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry; 2008, following the College's successful application to the Privy Council for Degree Awarding Powers; July 2010, following a governance review and resultant revocation of the Statutes. The College's Companies House listing is RC000710.
The College operates under the preferred name ‘Queen Mary, University of London’. The correspondence address for the College is:
Queen Mary, University of London
Queens' Building
Mile End Road
London
E1 4NS
Queen Mary, University of London is an ‘exempt charity’ under the Charities Act 1993. This status means that Queen Mary is not required to register directly with the Charity Commission, and in turn is not subject to its direct supervision. However, following the Charities Act 2006, from 1st June 2010 HEFCE became ‘principal regulator’ of the vast majority of HEIs in England, including Queen Mary.
