The course you choose dictates the campus. If this was taught in Harrow I would have applied elsewhere. Regent st campus is stunning and central. I didn’t notice much student union activity. In the first week there was no proper tour or student discount cards or anything I expected. People were left to figure out what was what and I think the whole being assigned a form tutor thing was pointless as you meet them once and they don’t check you your well-being. I chose a great course and met fabulous people from all over the World and I think this is the best thing about Westminster university . You will experience diversity like nowhere else. I have made some friends for life here! My course had a top lecturer but he’s just moved to Canada so I’m actually sad the next set of people won’t get him as the lecturer is spread out between people that don’t share his passion and are lacklustre with their marking such as having other students general comments being pasted in their feedback. In my case I got 12/30 for a word count that was completely accurate. I also questioned other grades where I had the evidence to show it was higher in the mark scheme but I wasn’t listened to. I think their marking needs reviewing. If you are going to write a mark scheme then all staff members need to be clear on what it means. If you are doing an MA as a gap year then you will have a fabulous time but if you are an academic you may want to consider and institution that will push you in the way you need. This first thing I was told on my course was that the museum sector doesn’t need another white woman- this is a horrible but harsh reality. That’s not Westminster uni’s fault btw. Anyway, apart from the questionable and inconsistent marking I had a fabulous time and the regent street campus is like a clean, old-fashioned hotel with cool seats and a nice library down the road.

I loved the variety of the course and the modules. I didn’t like the way some lecturers were given modules to teach and complained about how they had to leave their usual campus just to teach a module (ok this was one lecturer- a has been film director who was bitter as hell) and couldn’t give a damn about his marking. Without him the course would be better. Hours were good and suit people wishing to do full and part time studies

Very interesting with possibilities to make connections
