University of Westminster

Founded in 1838 as the Royal Polytechnic Institution, the University of Westminster has a long history of being a forward‑thinking, inclusive provider based in the heart of London. It transitioned through phases as a polytechnic and in 1992 formally became the University of Westminster. With multiple campuses in Central London (Regent Street, Fitzrovia, Marylebone) and Harrow, it blends historic architecture with modern facilities, strong creative arts and media schools, and well‑established professional courses. Westminster has been known for giving access to students from many backgrounds, with strong ties to the creative, digital, business, architecture, and communications sectors.

Student life at Westminster is very much “London‑centric”: you’re living in a cosmopolitan, vibrant city with all the cultural, entertainment, and networking advantages of being in central London. Because many campuses are well‑located, students often balance city living with studies: there are ample internship opportunities, industry connections, cafés, galleries, arts, media events, and a student body drawn from many countries and backgrounds. The university emphasizes practice‑based learning, creative and applied subjects, and preparing students for work in competitive fields. It has a diverse student population which makes for a lively, multicultural atmosphere.
