My first year at University of Westminster was amazing. My favourite part of my uni experience was attending the WeNetwork networking events and participating in their business programmes that included meeting different types of entrepreneurs and freelancers and forming valuable connections and the fundings they provided was what I used to start my wig business which I am super grateful for. The worst aspect for me would have been some of my lectures and how boring some of them were. Other than that everything else was amazing.

Sometimes sorting issues like mitigating circumstances was a little long winded

I feel like if you make it so, you get your money’s worth. The teaching for my course personally is incredible - I have professors that are incredibly smart but have never made me feel like I am below them, and they have gone above and beyond to give us support. Westminster also has a very wide range of amazing services that you’d otherwise have to pay for. Counselling, legal aid, gym, every LinkedIn learning course that you can possibly think of, career coaching, opportunities to connect with employers and more. Most notably, something I have not seen any other university offer, Westminster Working Cultures, in which students apply for international trips funded by the university to learn about overseas working cultures and network. My trip was to Singapore, and it was quite literally a career turning point. There are so many extra things that you have access to as a student. The campus look and feel and location are great. I love walking to campus, and I think Westminster facilities are beautiful and professional. Modern but classic, well equipped and secure. For negatives, I can only really say that sometimes communication with departments is hard and slow. I have only had this experience twice. First with the IT department when my laptop broke down and I needed a long term laptop loan urgently as I had deadlines approaching. While it’s a good thing that whenever you have a problem as a student, the university has means to help you, it was a very slow process in an urgent situation. Second, the visa department. As an international student I needed urgent documents so I could get my VISA that took an extremely long time to deliver. I would have to phone every day at my 2-3 am and it still took so long that I was a month late to the course because I got my documents right on the deadline.

The community in the university id very welcoming, the student and staff make a lot of effort to make sure evryone feels welcome. The proffessors try to make sure everyone understands the concepts. All students views are taken into consideration! Its a fantastic location to study in as its central london and just a few minutes walk from Oxford street!

The best was seeing how the university is adapting the pandemic. The worst part is not seeing enough support.

University of Westminster has lovely campuses, I study at the Marylebone campus. Around there is great restaurants and easy transport. I have made really great friends and connections and my lecturers have really helped me to build a strong career choice. I’m doing this the University helped me get work experience and are very helpful to students building actual relationships.

My experience at the university was nice. I found that the lecturers genuinely did care about your education. They are friendly and very helpful when you ask for extra support or advice for assignments. There are loads of societies to join, which offer great opportunity to attend social events and make friends. Overall, the seminars and lectures were interesting and interactive.

Pros: Centre of London, great location and really easy to go anywhere from campus. Good resources for study e.g. blackboard, library, online library services, study spaces Lecture rooms are very comfortable and nice learning environments Employability award scheme Assistance for coursework, exams/projects Cons: More advice/guidance for internships, grad schemes, work experience that are related to the course not just for 3rd year but also opportunities for 1st and 2nd years (engage doesn’t have a lot of opportunities related to my course) Inflated prices of food & drink at the canteen Toilets are often out of order

The University is a very inclusive environment and very quickly I managed to feel an integral part of the university. There are many societies as part of student union that offer extra curricula activities to really make the university experience memorable.
