About Us

Home to over 18,000 students from more than 160 countries, the University of Westminster has been voted the most internationally diverse university in the UK (Hotcourses Index 2018) and is ranked 29th in the world for international outlook (Times Education Higher Young University Rankings 2018).  

Established as Britain's first polytechnic in 1838, we have, from our earliest days, opened our doors to provide educational opportunities to people regardless of their background and supported them on their journey to develop their skills, knowledge and expertise. Through extremely close links in business, professional and academic life within London, as well as overseas, the University remains impactful, adding real value to professional practise through a wide range of Undergraduate, Postgraduate and Professional and Short courses.
