The University parades, among several other
unique qualities, an array of internationally relevant, topical and
contemporary academic programmes that are not only significant at
this age and time, but for many years to come. For instance, it is
among the very few institutions with an LLM programme in Dispute
Resolution (a very topical issue), and indeed the only one, to my
knowledge, with a specialisation in international commercial
dispute resolution in the UK. Therefore, it is a great preparation
for building and developing potential manpower and intellectual
consultants for world organizations such as the UN, the World Bank,
IMF, the EU, the ICJ and so on.
This qualification will definitely improve my career as a
lawyer and provide excellent opportunities for me in my country
Nigeria, and beyond.
The broad-based and international admission
policy of the institution is what I liked best about Westminster.
My colleagues came from different parts of the world, which offered
us an opportunity to learn about our different cultures and
exchange visits to our various countries during the breaks. In
fact, we often made a joke that the English students in the class
were the foreigners, because they were quite few. We have however,
established a bond that will definitely go places in years to come.
The school is truly an international institution indeed.
Being in central London, the social life of the
university is excellent and limitless.
It is only a short distance from some of the
most important historical sites that have influenced the history
and culture of the UK, such as the famous Buckingham Palace, the
Houses of Parliament, the British Museum, the Tate Art Gallery, and
lots more. Above all, the friendly atmosphere provided by both
academic and non academic staff make the learning environment even
more exciting.
I will like to advise students all over the world to
attend the University of Westminster and avail themselves a unique
blend of social experience and academic excellence -
one that I have immensely benefited from and will cherish for a
very long time to come.
I must say finally, that I will always be a
proud product of the University of Westminster for life. Thank you
Westminster.
