Very good atmosphere, the course is taught well and is very organised. There are lots of opportunities to grow available and a great range of societies to join.

The Marylebone campus is very well presented and is a beautiful site across the road from Madame taussauds, perfect for event students. This campus had amazing facilities for architecture students and has many it and printing labs. There is 5 floors of rooms and 3 floors of library so there is always a space to study or catch up on some reading.

The university has 5 campuses all located in prime areas of London. This is what makes uni life, for me, so exciteing. At some of the campuses the facilities on offer are superb! The only negative thing I would say about UofW is a lack of a hockey team!!!

3 Campuses, two in central with decent space. Good round the clock facilities and support for students(local & international).

In terms of location of the university was really good; there was plenty of places to eat (although they were pretty expensive). As this was in the middle of the city there was enough transport but you would have to face the possibility of rush hour which is not ideal when all you’re trying to do is study and prepare for your lessons. In my personal opinion I don’t feel the teachers/professors were as helpful as they could be; they often took long to reply to emails and perhaps could explain some of the work in a more clear way. The university’s ‘blackboard’ system was very basic and can be confusing.

my course is one of the best in the world and as a result was very intense, it was also very isolated from the rest of the uni so my experience ls different from other people. I did not participate in many student organised activities like unions due to lack of time but I must say my course was quite unorganised, however it was very prestigious and has given me a incredible CV

Overall I find the University of Westminster satisfying. I study Television Production and the facilities provided for us on this course are excellent. The uni has 5 different campuses throughout London each with its own specialised area, so the facilities are all tailored to the needs of each course. There’s is a wide variety of activities, bars and societies to get involved in. You will never be bored! A very nice university to study at, though I have found some of the services they provide extremely under advertised.

At the Harrow campus of Media and arts, it features all the best facilities you can ask for! They always have up to date equipment and always strive to provide for you and your course needs.

Really good teaching and facilities, however, it lacks a community feel and could do with being a lot more social.

One of the worst universities for organisation, feedback is always late, all lecturers don't understand that overuse of unnecessary content is NOT good. Seriously need to understand they're not even top of any leaderboards, the brunt of the workload should not be so dense. Of course that does not mean that university level content and teaching should not be provided, but an overdose of content that wouldn't even be used in an examination is stupid really. Shoutout to Lorna for putting probably 100 years worth of genetics content into one module and expecting us to memorise it all, you're a fool. Also, Tony Magdick, you're a pretentious, philosophy loving bastard and you should probably be less cryptic and condescending when it comes to teaching, and probably try and engage with the students you facist bigot, your parents must have taught you no manners, they're probably just as bad as you, sincerely hope you die and find out there is a hell and that you rot in hell for eternity as your soul is ripped from your body and torn into a million pieces where you feel such immense pain you suffer from cardiac arrest and die horribly, only to be reconfigured and have it happen to you all over again worse than the time it was before.

The teachers are really good and help in anyway that they can, the fact that we have a Costa on campus is so useful especially when I have a 9am start

Campus and course is great! Some modules might be looking useless but general experience is very good. Convenient location (a variety of places to eat around campus) good facilities, lots of IT labs, a lot of support from staff, active student union. Very good assessment system, didn’t have any problems with timetable (no long gaps). Library usually too full so it’s hard to find space, especially in silent study area.

Campus' are in a prime location and are modern clean. Unfortunately I don't hear much of the student Union or careers services and therrfore don't have much of an understanding of what happens in that area. The University is good enough though there is a lack of support for students with mental health issues. Lecture theatres could be improved as some are rather old and uncomfortable. Cheaper meals would be a wonderful option too for students who may not be able to afford £6+ meals every day.

My campus is quite small and doesn't really have a campus vibe, most people just come to their classes and lectures and then leave. The facilities are not bad but the faculty can seem quite disorganised.

The registry is unorganised, everyone gets their grades and they forget to send me e-mails, some lecturers are racists and the rsnking isnt too good. Some MSc programmes are ok but it depends on the faculty

During my undergraduate years at the Cavendish campus, the university has made essential changes and improved facilities. There is now a large social space, great for chilling in between breaks. I just wish they emphasised and convinced me more to join societies. I joined one but hardly anyone went and nothing much happened. Maybe there should be more freedom for creating our own societies in the student union.

High level lecturers willing to help you at all times and guide you to get to your goal, intensive practice and tools. Good facilities and equipment.

The studied commercial music performance. The course was great in most aspects. It was engaging and fun, and I developed as an artist. But I feel as though it wasnt very challenging and didn't help me with getting a job in the music industry.

The Harrow media campus is a nice refurbished building and the facilities are great! Stuff are friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend the film and television production course, you learn a lot of skills and theories

The law campus at little titchfield street could be bigger. I felt that because of the small space we as students could not interact with another. Especially since th cafeteria area was small too. The course itself was good depending on the tutor you got.

My time at the University of Westminster was great. I studied Commercial Music BHONS, I met great friends and learned a lot of skills and techniques which I got to experiment in the studio. Unfortunately, I only spent a year at university as I had matters out of my hand to tend to. But I would recommend this uni for its facilities and utmost quality of time and love they invest into students.

The University has 4 campuses in London Regents, Cavendish, Marlybone and Harrow. I study at Regents campus, it is a great place to study and the location is very good. The campus is close to many shops, cafes and bars. Our library,where you can study is located in another building about 5 min away. The student union organises events regularly where you can meet other students and have fun. The career development centre will help you with CV, interviews and volunteering. The organisation is ok but can be improved for example it takes them a long time sometimes to get to you about your results, etc.

Overall, I would rate the university 8/10 as a law student majority of my lecturers are barristers or solicitors so it’s nice to have their input which you would only find with a London university. Similarly, the night life in London is 24/7 however, a lot more expensive than campus university’s, however wicked student nights always host the best events at top clubs with £1 entry and £2 drinks all night! As for student union and freshers... well being in London there’s not one campus and there are many campus’s spread across London there seems to be a favourite campus which is where majority of the events and sports take place, which isn’t mine however London is very accessible tubes can take you anywhere so it’s not too bad to travel. If I was to go back to enrolling for university I would definetely stick with a London university as it gives me a head start with popular work experience and jobs however, as a commuter I do miss the night life but I am happy with my choice
