Student review [#90643] for Computer Science
at University of Westminster

University of Westminster is a great university with a lot of learning opportunities, but also a lot of freedom for students to decide what they want to do as they progress in their education. There is a great support network for all students. Students can reach out to the Staff Support Network for academic help, the Student Registry, the Student Union Team and each student is assigned a Personal Tutor for direct correspondence. The staff are also very understanding of students’ struggles and problems; they often provide extra support and give reasonable time for assignments should a student need extra time due to circumstances beyond their control. Each module has multiple clubs for students to explore in specialised fields. There are a lot of social clubs for students of all boards to join. A few examples are Chess Club, Game Society, and Sports Watching Club (where they host multiple matches happening throughout the year. Students can get food and watch the Premier League, Wimbledon, etc.). There are also multiple social events across the University. There are parties held for Halloween, Christmas, New Years etc.
One of the downsides of University of Westminster is that because our campuses are spread across Central London, unlike a lot of University Campus Towns, we don’t have our own dedicated space just for students. Student Accommodations are in a separate building in Harrow. Campuses are located around Tottenham Court Road. So University Towns such as Birmingham have a whole town and area just for students to enjoy student facilities. We do have access to student facilities, they’re just more spread out across London. However, the advantage of being in London is that we always have access to all the events happening around London with Student Discounts. There’s also the convenience of TfL being available, which makes travelling extremely easy.
