MA Media Management
What I appreciate most about Westminster is the diversity, not just culturally but also in perspectives. You’re constantly challenged to rethink assumptions.
Why did you choose the University of Westminster?
I chose the University of Westminster for its strong reputation in Media and Communication, particularly its focus on innovation and real-world application. As someone with years of experience in journalism and social media management, I was looking for a programme that didn’t just explore theory but also equipped me to lead in the fast-changing media-tech space. The MA in Media Management balanced critical thinking, strategic insight, and industry relevance.

What I appreciate most about Westminster is the diversity, not just culturally but also in perspectives. You’re constantly challenged to rethink assumptions, especially in seminars where global viewpoints enrich the conversation. The support from lecturers, many with professional backgrounds, has been crucial in shaping my dissertation on the need of media consulting firm in Cambodia. My time at Westminster has strengthened my vision for launching Varman Media Consultancy, which aims to support digital transformation in Cambodia and Southeast Asia. Socially, the experience has been just as transformative. I’ve formed connections with peers across disciplines, from project collaborations to casual meetups. That network has become a key part of my personal and professional growth.
What would your advice be to someone considering studying at Westminster?
To future students: be open, ask questions. Don’t just study, build. London’s media ecosystem offers so many opportunities beyond the classroom. Use them. But also be ready for the cultural adjustment. It takes time, but it’s totally worth it.
