Business Information Systems BSc (now Business Computing BSc) – 2026
What I have enjoyed most, is how the course was designed as a complete, interconnected experience rather than a set of isolated subjects. By the time you reach the final year, you realise the course has equipped you with a full, practical toolkit for navigating the different layers of how business and technology work together.
Why did you choose the University of Westminster?
Westminster stood out to me for two key reasons: its location in the heart of London and the accessibility it offered as an international student. Studying in central London provided an incredible opportunity to be surrounded by a city that is both a global hub for technology and business and a centre of cultural diversity and innovation.
I was particularly drawn to the way Westminster combines academic learning with real-world opportunities, especially through a degree that bridges business and technology. Ultimately, I wanted to be in a city. The chance to study in London while developing skills relevant to both fields made Westminster the ideal choice for me.
How has your experience been studying in London?
Studying in London has been one of the most formative parts of my time at Westminster. The city exposes you to a level of diversity, opportunity, and cultural richness that is genuinely difficult to find anywhere else. As an international student, being in London meant meeting people from all over the world, building a network across different industries, and experiencing a pace and ambition that has shaped how I think and work. It is not just a backdrop to the degree, it has been an education.
Tell us about your course and what have you particularly enjoyed?
What I have enjoyed most about Business Information Systems (now Business Computing BSc) is how the course was designed as a complete, interconnected experience rather than a set of isolated subjects. Every module felt like a piece of a larger puzzle, covering everything from project management and business strategy to systems analysis and design. By the time you reach the final year, you realise the course has equipped you with a full, practical toolkit for navigating the different layers of how business and technology work together. That intentional, cumulative design is something I genuinely appreciated.
How have you found academic support as part of your studies?
The support from lecturers has been consistently positive throughout the course. Whenever I needed guidance, whether on coursework, project direction, or understanding a concept in more depth, help was always accessible. The approachability of the academic staff made it easy to ask questions and work through challenges without hesitation.
Are there any stand-out facilities associated with your course?
The facilities at Westminster have been consistently modern and well maintained. The campus provides everything you need to study and work effectively, with up-to-date equipment and spaces that support both independent study and collaborative project work.
What would your advice be to someone considering studying at Westminster?
Engage genuinely with the modules as you go. The course is designed to teach you, not just to assess you, so if you stay diligent and curious throughout each module you will find that coursework and exams become a natural extension of what you have already learned rather than a last-minute challenge. Students who treat each module as a real learning opportunity tend to find the whole experience far more manageable and rewarding than those who try to catch up at the end.
