What our students say

Divanshu Airan

Corporate Finance Law LLM - 2023

The best aspect of being a University of Westminster student is the sense of community and the range of opportunities for personal and professional growth. Whether it’s through engaging with diverse societies, participating in leadership roles, or accessing top-notch academic and career support, Westminster truly helps students to thrive. 
 

Tanya Gowreesunker

Law LLB - 2026

My most memorable experience was the Westminster Working Cultures trip to Cairo, Egypt. Few universities in London offer this programme, and it was truly eye-opening. Meeting industry experts while immersing myself in a new culture was a life-changing experience.

Cerys Horrey

A great aspect is how much choice we get. Over the three years, you can shape your degree by picking from a wide range of optional modules, like Islamic Law, Jurisprudence, and Family Law.
