We compromise of five faculties: the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, Westminster Business School, Westminster Law School, and Westminster School of Media, Arts and Design.

The University's central London location benefits from nearby access to the city's many cultural attractions, while a recent £60m investment in its facilities has resulted in Westminster being able to offer fully-equipped sports facilities to students, as well as specialist resources, such as the purpose-built Financial Markets Suite.

The course is amazing with loads of help and assurance from staff. The coursework is diverse which is great for students like myself who struggle in exam settings. The free uni trips offered in our course is great and a lot of fun to both get involved with relevant activities to our course in different cultures but also to meet new friends and bond with staff and other students.

Overall experience of the University of Westminster has been good so far. Experiencing the internal transfer process myself, the staff memebers could give a little more help with what needs to be done to complete the transfer. All lectures are very well organised with great use of the Blackboard where anything from the lecture or more can be accessed 24/7. So far my experience has been good and I hope it gets better!
