Chinese and International Relations - BA (Hons)

University of Westminster, London

I personally loved studying at the Regent Campus. The location is perfect, with so many things nearby, and the campus itself has its own café, gym and great social clubs. I especially loved the dance club, as well as the seminar and lecture rooms. There’s a really nice atmosphere and a strong sense of community, you really feel like part of the University of Westminster. One thing that could be improved is having more quiet, isolated spaces for studying in Regent campus. However, the Cavendish Campus is very close, so it’s easy to go there if you want to use the library or find a quieter place to study.

Good friends Excellent location Good facilities for a wide range of courses Could have better air conditioning, rooms get quick hot especially in regent street campus

Studying at the University of Westminster was a great experience. Primarily, the opportunities to gain professional work experience and accessibility to workshops and other learning opportunities outside of the regular scheduled classes was a real blessing. Also, the international opportunities to study and learn were really important for my career prospects once graduating. The University has a clear focus on preparing people to enter the professional world post-graduation, and I feel that this is a real strength of the establishment. The staff really seem to work towards, and care about your prospects after completing your studies. I really enjoyed being in central London, with my primary campus being the historical Regent Street campus, it was a great environment to be surrounded by through my studies. The selection of modules in my course where varied and interesting, with a good range of choice to hone in on for my own particular interests. The lecturers were always supportive and accessible, and I believe I have made some really appreciated contacts that I will keep in touch with post-graduation. As for feedback I believe the classrooms could be improved to be more consistent in terms of facilities available, and to be made more dynamic, inviting and welcoming, as sometimes they reminded me a lot of school classrooms. Some rooms would be more unique and enjoyable to be in, were as others felt dull. I also felt that the student social scene was lacking at times, which I feel can be a product of being a University that is split across multiple campus'. Although, I did meet some amazing people throughout my time, and made close friends for life which I am extremely grateful for, so despite my feedback here, it is possible to have a great social scene at University here, you just may have to work harder for it.

The best aspects would be the location of the university , in the heart of the city , as well as the interactive seminars and tutorials to prepare for the seminars Worst aspects : money and travel costs , as well as trying to find a job while at uni

I love how my uni has an employability focus and encourages students to reach their max potential through various schemes such as Future Ready career mentorship, Westminster Working Cultures and Westminster Employability Award
