Life in London

Life in London

 

Studying in London is a truly unforgettable experience for any international student. More than 7 million people live in this world-famous city; and over 350,000 of them are students, many of whom are from outside the UK. Westminster's students reflect the vibrant and cosmopolitan environment of the city. This year, students from an amazing 155 different countries are represented within the student body!

 

Culture

London is home to some of the world's best-known monuments, buildings,  museums, galleries, sports clubs, restaurants, clubs, shopping and theatres, and Westminster's students are ideally placed to explore the city's many dimensions. The three central London campuses of Marylebone, Regent and Cavendish are located in the heart in London's famous 'West End', whilst the Harrow campus offers a more peaceful environment that is still only a short tube journey away from the centre. 

 

 "By seeing London, I have seen as much of life as the world has to show"

Dr. Samuel Johnson,

18th century poet and philosopher

 

It's quite possible to develop a varied and interesting lifestyle in London on a budget. With substantial student discounts and so many of the city's most appealing attractions being free, you'll always find ways to make your money go further.

 

Studying

Your studies will be enhanced by the large number of important collections within easy reach: the University of London Library, the British Library, as well as the archives of many institutions and professional bodies are all nearby.

Work

Situated at the centre of a global economic hub, the University of Westminster is also ideally located to network with leading businesses and employers based here. This means that not only are our courses up-to-date with the latest industry developments, we are also in a good position to assist students with work placements and careers advice. There are also many part-time work opportunities in London for those students wishing to supplement their income whilst studying (international students are usually permitted to work up to 20 hours a week during term-time).
