Impact

The University of Westminster has a long history of impactful research that makes a real difference to the world. The research features below showcase the impact our researchers are making in four key areas that represent our values and link to our historic mission to enable people from every background to reach their full potential.

Diversity and Inclusion

Our research works to identify and remove barriers to a fully inclusive society that recognises the achievements and value of all. In doing so, this research unlocks the potential of citizens to advance societies and industries across the globe.

Arts, Communication and Culture

In our globalised world, citizens now have unprecedented access to the arts, culture and media. Our research explores new ways of engaging audiences, advancing access and promoting democratic values.

Health Innovation and Wellbeing

The prevention of disease and the enhancement of wellbeing, both mental and physical, are key priorities. Our researchers work to develop and implement practical solutions and new technologies that support a healthy society.

Sustainable Cities and the Urban Environment

Our researchers work with communities, industries and governments, locally and globally, to strengthen societal resilience in the face of climate change and to find new sustainable ways of living, working and moving people and goods around and between our global cities.
