University of Westminster
115 New Cavendish Street, W1M 8JS LONDON, United Kingdom
3.91 / 5 based on 294 reviews.
Description:
The University of Westminster is located in the heart of central London, close to the bustling shopping areas of Oxford Street and Regent Street. In fact, our main headquarters building is located on Regent Street itself and dates back to the foundation of the institution, then the Royal Polytechnic in 1838. Additionally, we have a large campus in Harrow, slightly out of the centre of town, which offers a greener environment where students can study in brand new purpose built teaching accommodation. Our international reputation dates from our founding years as the first ever polytechnic to the present day as one of Britain's largest universities with around 19,000 students studying a wide range of full- and part-time courses. The University has four campuses. Three located in central London and one in Harrow, suburban North West London.

sorry i didnt meet as many local students as i thought. but students and teachers are overall friendly and helpful. the most important thing is to choose wot u really want to study not wot people think might be hot subjects
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
well, i would say if there are more active student society that'll be great. studying media in this uni is kind of isolated cos the media school is far from city. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The Uni could have better arranged schedule for the students. And provides more available facilities, which will certainly save us time... This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Be sure what you are starting and that you have a full comprehension of all the courses available at your chosen university. Make sure your school is the best at the field you are interested in and you can be sure the quality of the courses will satisfy your every desire.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
Too much paper work and unorganised staff. Easy hand ins of academic work should go smoother and in the contempory age we're in things should be able to be done more over the internet. If hireing PhD students to lecture on seminars, make sure they have an open mind to make sure students are not graded porely due to different views than the seminar lecturer.

All the courses were interesting but I would advice students to be very careful in choosing the translation courses. These were a bit disappointing, depending on the professors.
