The best part was that I never felt anxious going into the university. Everyone was friendly and helpful. The worst aspect of my experience was that I struggled finding the rooms.

The social side is impeccable and you find a group that fits you no matter what. The teachers make an effort to meet with you to ensure you’re confident with your learning

loved it.

I hadn't wanted to go to uni until I came to Black Mountains College to do another course. It's such a supportive enviroment and the staff genuinly care and know everyone. As a disabled student who specificaly has dyslexia and autism I have recieved so much support not only from the student support but from the lecturers themselves, from checking in with me, seeing how my essays going and offering regular tutorials to support me. The campus itself is really beautiful, being outdoors regularly really helps and the town is nestled inbetween the mountains making for a beautiful view all year round.

My 3-year course at the University of Westminster has been nothing short of an amazing experience from Day 1. Westminster is such a great place to study, particularly because of its location in the heart of London and the accessibility of its different campuses. Throughout my time at the university, I had the opportunity to visit all five campuses: Cavendish, Marylebone, Harrow, Regent Street and Little Titchfield Street, while meeting people from different courses and across the wider university community. Although Cavendish was my primary campus, being able to experience different parts of Westminster and connect with students from different backgrounds significantly elevated my university experience. Even now, as an alumni, I feel incredibly fortunate to remain connected to and part of such an inclusive and supportive community. One of the best aspects of my time at Westminster was the number of opportunities available beyond my degree. I made sure to take advantage of as many of these opportunities as possible, particularly through employability programmes and extracurricular experiences. I took part in Westminster Working Cultures (WWC), the Westminster Award and several other initiatives that allowed me to develop both personally and professionally. One of the highlights was having the opportunity to participate in a six-week intensive programme involving the development of an AI solution project for Cognizant and Aston Martin. Experiences like this allowed me to apply what I had learned through my degree to real-world challenges while also developing my confidence, communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills. These opportunities also allowed me to build valuable connections, friendships and professional relationships with people I may not otherwise have met. Looking back, I believe these experiences were some of the most valuable aspects of my time at Westminster because they allowed me to grow beyond the classroom and make the most of university life. That being said, it is slightly difficult to identify the worst aspects of my university experience because, overall, I genuinely had an amazing time. However, one area that I feel could have been improved was the communication and consistency of information within my course. At times, information was not always streamlined, clear or communicated in sufficient time, which made it difficult for students to understand what was expected of them and plan ahead. As a Course Representative for Business Computing, I sometimes found it challenging to act as the person responsible for streamlining information and communicating updates to my peers when the information provided to us was unclear. I experienced something similar during my role as an EDI Student Champion, where some information was not presented clearly and I often had to speak with my peers, seek clarification and make assumptions to understand what was required. This made it more difficult to communicate confidently with others and, at times, left students unsure about the next steps. I believe this could be improved by providing students with clear, direct and consistent information in a timely manner. Giving students sufficient notice would allow them to plan ahead, understand expectations and organise their schedules accordingly, particularly as students have their own commitments outside of university. Better communication would therefore reduce confusion and prevent students from feeling caught off guard by changes or important information. Despite this, my overall experience at the University of Westminster has been incredibly positive. I have taken advantage of the opportunities presented to me, developed both personally and professionally, built lasting friendships and relationships, and created memories that I will always value. I genuinely loved my time at Westminster and, now that I have graduated, I dearly miss it.

There are many facilities and floors which have dedicated areas for studying. The library is also fitted with computers and upto date reading materials alongside the online library to help with materials needed for the courses. Some of the facilities such as the toilets tend to be out of service for a while . The lift in the main cavendish campus also tends to sometimes be out of service leaving a long line for those waiting to go to the labs on the 6+ levels.

It's a unique degree in a remarkable setting, studying in a quiet rural town surrounded by forests and fields means more space to thinking and explore but less of the comforts and amenities of a city. Offering a very radical curriculum, we are encouraged to think critically and we have lot of room to find our focus area. It's a very broad and diverse degree with many guests lectures bringing fascinating and eye-opening ideas and perspectives. it's largely about practice and living and thinking differently, creatively and inquisitively, to tap into other faculties beyond the rational mind.

The Professor’s are so friendly and supportive. People’s around university are so nice

Having the opportunity to take part in the global experience - partially funded by the uni resort, I was able to travel to Sri Lanka and participate in a marine and wildlife conservation volunteering scheme!

The University of Westminster is a great university and a highly regarded institution that places a strong emphasis on the experience and success of its students. Throughout my time there, I have found the university to be genuinely committed to providing a high standard of education while creating a supportive and welcoming academic environment. The quality of education is consistently strong, and the examination and assessment system is well organised and provides students with a fair opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding. The teaching staff are also highly supportive, approachable, and actively involved in the university community. Their willingness to engage with students and provide guidance makes a real difference to the overall student experience. Overall, I have had a very positive experience at the University of Westminster. It is an institution that genuinely cares about its students, values academic development, and provides a strong educational experience. I would highly recommend Westminster to anyone looking for a supportive university with dedicated teaching staff and a good standard of education.
