Good location, support is there also

All good

The University of Westminster has been a life‑changing and incredible place to study. The university embeds employability into everything, from lessons, employability awards, and career mentoring, and beyond the classroom there are endless global and practical opportunities, even for students who may not have prior experience. Before coming to university, I had never travelled internationally, but through Westminster I’ve been able to visit South Africa, Barbados for a Microsoft programme, and Scotland for a leadership retreat to support my professional development. The university also supported me financially, making these experiences possible. These opportunities exposed me to new cultures, helped build my confidence, and strengthened my communication and networking skills. I’ve also developed professionally through roles such as being a FAN (Friend of Arriving New Students), where I supported new students during their transition into university by signposting services, offering guidance, and delivering presentations during induction week. I’m also had the opportunity to become an e‑mentor and student caller as well, continuing to support students as they settle in. These roles have helped me build strong communication and active listening skills that prepare me for life after graduation. In terms of improvements, I genuinely feel Westminster offers so much already. However, one possible enhancement could be increasing awareness of the opportunities available, sometimes students only discover schemes or programmes after they’ve taken place.

The best part of my Business Management (HRM) course is how practical it is and how supportive the lecturers are. I personally learn best through real examples, and our lecturers use so many HR scenarios, case studies and discussions that make everything click. I’ve also felt really supported , whenever I’ve emailed or asked for help, they’ve taken the time to guide me properly, which has really boosted my confidence. One thing that could be improved is the consistency across modules. From my experience, some lecturers upload resources or share deadlines differently, which can get confusing. Having a more standard way of organising information would make things even easier to manage.
