Get involved

Your relationship with the University of Westminster doesn’t end once you graduate. As an alumnus you can stay involved in a variety of ways

Volunteer

International Recruitment Fairs
We are always on the lookout for alumni volunteers to help our International Officers at student recruitment events and International Fairs overseas.

Open Days
Could you talk to prospective students about what life is like studying at the University of Westminster and living in London at one of our open days?

Careers

Give a Careers Talk
Come and share your career experience to date and inspire current students to achieve their goals and reach their full potential. Students benefit tremendously from hearing from alumni who have ‘been there and done that’ and are able to give invaluable advice by sharing their experiences working in a particular role or sector.

Mentor a student
Mentoring is a fantastic opportunity to develop a new skill for your CV as well as a chance to share the benefit of your experience with an eager current student. As a mentor, you can help a student find out more about the reality of certain jobs, sectors and professions based on your personal experiences.

Offer work experience or placements
One of the most effective ways that alumni can help students is to give them the chance to gain valuable work experience that enhances their future employability. You could help them to experience an industry and its culture, develop transferable skills and grow their networks. At the same time, your organisation will benefit from the specialist skills, fresh new ideas and positive enthusiasm of current students.

Please email [email protected] if you are interested in any of the above opportunities.

Support the University

Support University of Westminster students and the next generation of alumni
Give a gift to The 125 Fund to help students enhance their employability and help them reach their full potential.  

Take part in the Oral Histories
In celebration of the 175th anniversary we are inviting Polytechnic alumni to tell us about their student days. Help us compile an oral history of what it was like to be a student at the Regent Street Polytechnic or the Polytechnic of Central London (PCL). Similarly if you have any photographs or ephemera that you would be willing to donate to the archive (we are happy to take copies of photos) then please gets in touch. Contact us at [email protected] or on +44 (0)20 7911 5167

Events

Organise your own reunion
Whether you graduated 5 or 50 years ago why not think about organising a reunion for your former classmates? We rely on individuals to volunteer as reunion organisers but the Alumni Office can provide all the support you need to coordinate your reunion.
