Postgraduate study
You've successfully completed your first degree and are now looking to develop your professional skills in a particular area. We've been educating for professional life and can offer a huge range of expertise in career-focussed education. To help you, we've pulled out some of the questions that last year's postgraduate applicants fired at us before making their decision. We hope that their answers will help you do likewise.
Is Westminster known for the quality of teaching in
my subject?
Government inspectors came to assess the teaching of 25 of the subject areas we offer recently and judged more than half to be excellent. For postgraduate study, research quality is also a strong indicator of the topicality and relevance of related teaching - to check out our research scores, click here.
Are the campuses easy to get to and in good
locations?
Definitely. If you study at Cavendish, Marylebone or Regent Campus, you will be in the heart of central London, easily accessible by bus, train or London Underground after work. If you're planning to study full-time, you'll also be within reach of shops, cafes, museums and parks. Harrow Campus is next to Northwick Park Underground station, just four stops from central London, and close to the lively Harrow town centre.
Will a Westminster degree help me get on in my career?
It will certainly help your credibility. Our postgraduates benefit not only from excellent teaching from experienced lecturers and high profile visiting speakers but also from being able to share ideas and network with their peers in other organisations. These networks provide career support long after you graduate.
I'm worried about finance - can you help?
We offer a wide range of postgraduate scholarships and advice to make sure that money worries don't prevent you from studying at our postgraduate open days. If you plan to study full-time, we also run an on-site student employment service to help you find work during and after your studies to keep your finances afloat.
