What our students say

Amy Garcia

Real Estate BSc Honours

The University of Westminster was the best university in London that provided a course in Real Estate. I like how realistic our modules are in relation to the type of work we will do in the industry once we graduate, it gives us the ability to easily transfer skills and good preparation for the workplace. Our lecturers are very supportive and help us with any questions/problems related to the lecture or coursework.

Siu Yin Kwan

Studying at Westminster has taken me to another level to see things and gain confidence to try. The combination of the location, student quality, supportive lecturers, professional events, hands-on experience and the intention to succeed really makes the University of Westminster a place that you can depend on to reach higher.

Andea Watson

Building Surveying BSc

In gaining my degree at Westminster, I have progressed from a job to a profession. I can honestly say I greatly enjoyed my time there, as the lecturers cared for the students, and pushed us to our strengths.  The knowledge I have gained from Westminster has enabled me not only to enjoy my job as a building control surveyor, but it has also assisted me to gain promotion from trainee to assistant surveyor.

Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it.
