Welcome to your course
Congratulations on being accepted onto Transport Planning MSc at the University of Westminster. It is a real pleasure to welcome you to the course and we look forward to supporting you on your journey of learning, exploration and achievement. Your time with us will start with welcome week.
During welcome week we will set the context for the course, introduce you to our teaching team and your fellow students, and explain to you the services available on campus.
Best wishes and welcome to university life! We look forward to meeting you in September.
Welcome to the School of Architecture + Cities
During your time in the School the focus is on your work and creative outputs – and we are committed helping you achieve your potential. As well as the full-time teaching staff, leading practitioners teach on our courses, and employers mentor students. The School brings together a variety of disciplines to address future environmental and social challenges – urban and environmental design to architecture, architectural technology, interior architecture, planning, and tourism and events. Our Marylebone campus is perfectly placed for exploring London, and houses some of the most advanced teaching and fabrication spaces in the city.
During your welcome week, there will be a programme of activities arranged for you, so please attend all the events on your individual timetable – as well as the formality of enrolment, you will get to work with your course tutors and fellow students.
Best wishes
Kate Cheyne
