The Applicant Portal holds all the information about your application.

When you apply to the University, we'll send you your username for the portal. Please make sure you check your junk mail folder regularly and add "westminster.ac.uk" to your safe senders' list.

Through the Applicant Portal, you can:

  • view emails sent to you from the Admissions Office
  • complete and upload information as part of the admissions process

We'll email you to let you know when you're able to upload information, book an interview, or if there's a form you need to complete.

Accessing our Applicant Portal – setting up your password

To access the Applicant Portal, you'll need a username and password. You are given a username when you apply. This is the letter "w" followed by the first 7 digits of your student ID number. Check any University correspondence for this ID number.
To set up your password for the first time (or to reset it), log in to our password self-service and follow the instructions. Password reset links will be sent to the personal email address you provided when joining the University.

If you experience any issues, call our Service Desk on +44 (0)20 7915 5488.

You may already have a password if:

  • you are an existing student. If your applicant reference number is the same as your student number then you can use your current username and password to log in to the Applicant Portal
  • you have already applied for student accommodation or have previously logged in to the Applicant Portal. In this case, you don't need to set up a new password and can just use the password you already created

If you have already set up a password, log in to our Applicant Portal now.

Change or reset your password

If you need to change or reset your password, you’ll first need your username which is the letter "w" followed by the first 7 digits of your student ID number. Reset links will be sent to the personal email address you provided when joining the university. To change or reset your password, log in to our password self-service and follow the instructions.
