Welcome to your course
We are pleased that you have chosen to study at the University of Westminster and look forward to helping you succeed in your career as a solicitor. The course starts with the consideration of some of the foundation skills that are needed throughout the course. For the first week there will be classes every day. The foundation course begins with a number of lectures, but we will move on to apply that knowledge in small group sessions. The small group sessions will be on the subjects introduced by the lectures.
On the first day (Monday 16th September) we will be issuing you with many of the books and manuals you will need for Stage 1 of your studies. So, it is highly recommended that you bring with you a sturdy case/bag, preferably with wheels, to transport the books home more easily. The classrooms below are all based on the third floor of our Little Titchfield Street (LTS) campus.
Welcome to Westminster Law School
We are pleased that you have chosen to join the University of Westminster.
Welcome Week is designed to introduce you to the University, your course, other students starting their course with you, and the staff who will be teaching you. You will meet your personal tutors, with whom you can discuss your module choices, your timetable, and any other questions that you have. Course information, module information and reading lists will be supplied at these meetings.
During the week you will attend a number of sessions that are organised to provide you with everything you need to start your course. It is essential that you go to these sessions, as the services and facilities we provide you depend on you being registered on our system.
Welcome to the University of Westminster, and we very much hope that you will enjoy studying here with us at Westminster Law School.
