Postgraduate Reviews of Courses at University of Westminster, London

Great place to study read full review
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. read full review
Best - being in the university campus and being around the people
Worst - travelling to uni (the expenses are high) read full review
School ranks low in university rankings.

Not even in upper quartile of first 100 UK unis and charges £9500 for fees.

Dissertation outcomes indicate hostility. read full review
My experience with the University of Westminster has been diabolical. After being very excited to start my course, I found there was no support given by the registry office, during the three times we were allowed on site for face-to-face teaching the staff were hostile, and no help was given by the university in terms of extensions when family members passed away or when a long standing illness deteriorated.
The academic staff did the best with what they could do but for £11,000 this university is certainly not worth it. read full review
Yes has been a very enjoyable time studying at university of Westminster. It is a very good university with excellent learning courses and teaching is exceptional. read full review
Terrible, I dropped out before first term had ended.

Halls were too far, student bar was rubbish, course was a complete waste of time.

Also couldn't stand all my 'fellow students', but I guess that's personal preference read full review

UNIVERSITY OF WESTMINSTER, LONDON

Student Reviewer - December 2019

After studying at 3 different universities in UK, I can safely say that the lack of student support from senior faculty at University of Westminster made it one of the worst experiences I ever had in any university.
has a discouraging attitude towards students(at least towards me). I am Quoting one of the many events here. Luckily I had better teachers at Cardiff university who helped me with it.
