History

University of Westminster was founded in 1838 and was known as the first polytechnic institution in the UK. The university’s name has a long history behind it. It all started with the Royal Polytechnic Institution, where the “father of aeronautical engineering”, Sir George Calley, was the first chairman of the university. Unfortunately, the building was destroyed by a fire in 1879. After a couple of years, the Polytechnic of Central London was established. Even if at the beginning it was intended for the poorest children in London, throughout time, it gathered over 7,300 students. Due to its increased popularity, in 1992 it was renamed as University of Westminster, and became a member of the High Education Funding Council. The university’s efforts have twice so far received the Queen’s Award for Enterprises – in 2000 and 2005.Show more

    A postgraduate Journey

    I am currently completing my MA in Social Media & Digital Communications at Westminster University, and my experience has been largely positive. The programme offers a strong blend of theory and practical application, with modules that explore digital culture, content strategy, and the evolving media landscape.

    Academic staff are knowledgeable and approachable, and the course structure allows students to tailor their learning to their interests. The university provides effective online learning tools that have been helpful for hybrid study.

    While some administrative processes could be more streamlined, the overall academic experience has been engaging, relevant, and supportive. I would recommend this university to students seeking a contemporary and flexible postgraduate environment.

    Good University

    Overall, I’ve had a good experience at this university. The teaching is generally solid, it has good facilities, and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in student life. Like any university, there are a few things that could be improved, but it’s been a positive and worthwhile experience overall.

    Location was amazing and great fellow student

    I enjoyed my experience here. My fellow class mates were interesting, smart and diverse. The programs were ok, would be great to have some more inspiring lecturers and maybe to have some more flexibility in terms of the classes and changes if not the right fit

    Great Teaching, Limited Campus Social Life

    In general, the University of Westminster is a good university with a strong teaching system. The courses include exciting projects and real-life client experiences, which make learning more practical and engaging. The tutors are very supportive, approachable, and always willing to help students.

    In terms of student life, the social atmosphere on campus is not very strong. Some students seem less motivated about their studies, which can sometimes affect motivation. The buildings also have limited social spaces, with a relatively small library and few study rooms. However, as the university is located in the city centre, this is not a major issue, as there are plenty of cafés, restaurants, and study-friendly spaces nearby.

    Good pratical education in the heart of London.

    I studied at the University of Westminister as a mature student in my early 30s. Overall my experience was positive. The lecturers were supportive and approachable and many of the courses were practical and linked to real world skills. I liked teh diverse student community and the central London location which offers many career and networking opportunities. I would recommand this University especially for students who want practical knowledge and to study in London.
