Integrative Health And Wellbeing MSc
The University of Westminster offers many opportunities to students in every field to grow and prepare for their future. I’ve always wanted to study here, and I feel lucky to be a part of it.
Richie Barclay
Sports and Exercise Nutrition MSc
My time at the University was extremely valuable – without this course and first-hand knowledge from experts in the field, I wouldn't be in the position that I'm in now, where I'm completing a PhD and running my own sports nutrition consultancy.
Dayna Hawthorne
